You may please try the following:
If she has the habit of circling the nail by pushing the skin which generally stretches from the toe to the top surface of the nail, stop doing that. Circling the nail some times opens up a gap between the nail and the toe and allows the moisture or water in it, which may infect the toes.
Whenever the toe is wet, clean the moisture with the help of tissue paper and apply simple creams like vaseline. Keep the toes warm by wearing socks ( if the climate is cold use woolen socks and if warm use cotton socks).
If her foot sweats more than normal, use cotton socks to absorb the moisture and she should wear ventilating type footware.
Before going to bed, clean the toes with warm salted water and wipe the toes with tissue paper and apply LICHENSA ointment.
Check for blood sugar and take precautions to reduce it, if any.

a list of home remedies I saw recently stated that soaking the feet in listerine will kill nail fungus and it doesn't have the possible side affects something like lamisole would have.
There are now many things recommended for Toe Nail fungus, and as many claims that they work. Vick's Vaporub, is one apply twice daily, Tee tree Oil with olive oil, Listerine, washing feet with vinegar etc. Whether these are permanent solution, I cannot say.
I think the drug is called lamysil, but i'm not entirely sure. no matter, you need a prescription for the drug and it's very strong and has a high rate of affecting ppls kidneys. oh, and it's very expensive too.
