I was clipping my toenail and Im afraid a small piece of it went into my mouth. It has fungus, but it was treated with lamasil for 3 consecutive months and it starting to grow back out normal. Then I spit out something white and soft and not the size of a toenail piece so it could've been food that I ate like an hour ago. But if it was a piece of toenail, could I get sick from it being in my mouth or get fungus in my mouth? Please help I'm kinda worried.

I highly doubt it. So many people get worried over this type of thing but to be fair, we have pretty amazing immune systems.

Only a small fraction of bacteria actually cause disease, however we all need to be exposed to it to build our immune systems.

You'll be absolutely fine. :yesyes:

Its very unlikely you even ingested it and if you did its still unlikely that it would cause an infection, I'd say you're absolutely fine and I hope you have a great day/night :yesyes:
