Here are two you can try:
1. listerine - soak the toes in Listerine mouthwash
2. vicks vaporub - apply twice a day to nail and under edge of nail
You must do this every day until the nail grows out completely! It takes about 8 months for a toenail to completely grow out.
I had taken three 3 month courses of Lamisil and it did not get rid of my toenail fungus. I am now using the vicks and my toenail, while still discolored, is much lighter in color and is no longer thick! It is also growing out and the new growth appears to be healthy.
