I only have fungus in 1 toenail. I took a 3 month course of terbinafine. Now 6 months after treatment ended the nail looks good about 1/4 to 1/2 the way up. It's like the diseased part just won't finish growing out. I trimmed it back, but I'm hoping that's what I should have done.
Terbinafine - How long after a 3 month treatment should the nail completely grow out?

Believe it or not, a big toenail takes about 12 months from nail bed to being able to be trimmed off so you are in the early days. Just keep trimming as it grows out. :-)
