Suggest Remedy For Fungal Infection In Nail

Hey hello, I'm from Singapore & the big toenail on my left foot has detached from the nail bed due to initial trauma & later, fungal infection. Most of the nail has dropped off, except for remaining small part which is sticking to the nail cuticle..I can see internal bleeding on the nail bed nearest to nail root. What should I do with the remaining part of the nail that is attached to the nail root? Should I wait for it to fall off?
