Absolutely nothing, that needs leaving alone to grow and heal. Any type of cover such as gel or polish is likely to trap bacteria and cause bigger problems. I suspect you will lose the remaining nail as the new growth comes through just as a warning. Regular use of a good quality cuticle oil would be a good idea to promote healthy cell growth. You're looking at months rather than weeks for it to grow through

Okay!! Thank you so much, I wasn't sure and it doesn't hurt really. I just wasn't sure if it would be okay left alone or if it was serious.
