Aloha Chunkster! I saw a podiatrist who told me the salves don't work too good for toenails. They need to be kept dry. Not easy to do around here. He recommended "Blue, Nail Fungus (triple relief. Antifungal, anti bacterial) It's made in Canada. The Active ingredient Chlortimazole 1.0%. It goes on thick white, wet and pasty. Drys hard and stays on til you wash it off. It worked for me. Hard to find here, but good old Amazon had it for under 5$. We keep one around just in case..
Oral fungal treatment IS very hard on the liver. A good Doc. will do liver tests before he/she even prescribes it for you. Topical does the job without all the side effects of oral treatment. Smart people in your family! Good luck to your wife in clearing it up.
