Has he been to his GP he needs long term help as it is a horrendous thing to get rid of and he may need longer oral meds
Why not ask in the medical doctor thread on here

Nail fungus is notoriously difficult to get rid of.

I suspect the pain is a result of the nail thickening, so you son needs regular visits (every 5-6 weeks) so that the thick nail can be drilled and cut away.

Regular use of lamisil will help a bit.

I have asked the pharmacist about this,but wondered if anyone had suffered badly with nail fungus
My son has really bad nail fungus and it's not getting any better,his feet are so painful he can barely walk, because they are so painful
He has seen a podiatrist who told him to get some lamisil, it hasn't helped at all, and is very painful when he uses it
I am hoping someone might have had this problem and knows of something that may help
I really felt for him as I can see he is in a lot of pain, I don't know what to suggest
It seems pointless going back to the podiatrist if they can only suggest more lamisil,or curanail but said lamisil was better
Om sure there must be something better

Thanks in advance for any help
