Oral antibiotics are prescribed for foot fungus treatment, if the infection is bacterial. Stronger antifungal medications are prescribed for foot fungus treatment, if the infections become systemic. Some of the commonly used oral medications for foot fungus treatment include griseofulvin and concentrated forms of terbinafine and itraconazole.
