Basic hygiene is all that is needed. Keep your nails clean, especially under the tip of the nail, and try not to tear the nail away at the tip. Tearing creates an entry point for the fungus to gain entry again. Most common things to do is not to go bare feet in public places.

One thing I do suggest is to steralise all of your shoes that you have worn to kill any remaining fungal spores that maybe lerking in your shoes. This is what I did after I cured my nail, and still do about once a month.

You can read a lot of great information about using ozone to steralise your shoes in the source box below. Your aunt should also do this too as this will stop reinfection.
