The medication is administered as a “swish and swallow.” If the medication does not resolve the infection, an oral medication such as fluconazole may be prescribed. Ampicillin is an antibiotic, and is used to manage bacterial infections. Anbesol is used to manage oral discomfort, which can accompany a mouth infection.
