Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nystatin is an effective antifungal drug for oral thrush. The medication should be dropped into the mouth after feedings so it will remain in contact with the lesions rather than being washed away immediately by a feeding. The medication should not be given before meals or mixed with orange juice or milk.
