Nystatin is an antifungal medication commonly used to treat oral fungal infections. Fluconazole may also be used, but it is typically reserved for more severe cases. Ampicillin is an antibiotic and would not be effective against a fungal infection. Anbesol is a topical anesthetic and would not treat the underlying fungal infection.
