Fungal infection in thumbnail

Dear doctor, My mother has been suffering from fungal infection in her thumbnail for 4 months almost. She was going through root canal tratment just before lockdown so she was taking Moxymox 500 until 9 Apr 2020. She was treating the nail with Calendula oil. Please suggest a treatment for this.
