I'm on a 6 month course of tablets for a fungal toe nail infection, one side affect seems to be wind.

I dont mean just the occasional pharp, but full one trumping all day, burping too.

Is there anything that can reduce wind?

I believe that carbon tablets help.

Like lumps of charcoal?

I guess. Should be available from a pharmacy.
Apparently it absorbes the gas... or something.

Do you tablets make you feel ill?.........a friend of mine came off them due to a side effect of feeling sick all the time.

Charcoal tablets may help absorbe the excess gas.
Peppermint tablets may also soothe any pain from excess wind and reduce any pongs.

No other side effects other than the wind.

How about peppermint tea? Don't know if it'll help... but it tastes nice

Ask your doctor about trying simethicone. It breaks up the surface tension on intestinal gas bubbles so they are smaller and more descrete. Also a tried and true old time cure for foot and toe fungus, believe it or not, is Vick's mentholated vapor rub, apply twice a day to the affected area, put your socks on, keep it up for at least 2 weeks. I learned this from a doctor friend who prescribed it all of the time with great results. I used it after I picked up an infection between 2 toes, and it worked!
