Vicks worked for me and many others

Nonyx nail gel, dettol in your washing. Regularly filing and cleaning out nail. Epsom salts and apple cider vinegar foot soaks.

I've had this going on for 5 years plus, I've tried everything and nothing worked so I hear every one talking about Vicks vapor rub and gave it a shot. U have to get rid of the nail by grinding it down or clipping it off and I use peroxide in warm water, put my feet in and soak about 10 min then put on Vicks and socks and go to bed, I can tell it's working!

I was on Reddit awhile back trying to look at new ways and someone posted Betadine/iodine 10% solution. You have to cut the nails back really short and then file them until they are a bit porous and then apply twice a day for a few months maybe longer depending on level of infection.

Vinegar. 5 toes had it. It's taken Almost 2 years. 4 toes clear... big toe close. But better than anything else I've tried in 15 years including meds.. prescriptions.. Vicks... nothing else worked.

I've tried so many, some worked a little, but nothing cured it until I finally just took terbinafine. I partially procrastinate because the topical version did nothing, but the oral medication worked.

Vicks works if you apply a nice amount and cover it with a band-Aid.
