Correct
Answer: A
Rationale: Nystatin is an antifungal medication commonly used to treat thrush in infants. It is safe for infants and effective against Candida. The treatment should be continued for 2 to 3 days after the lesions disappear to ensure complete eradication of the infection. Discontinuing the medication prematurely can lead to a recurrence of thrush.
Summary of other choices:
B: Switching to a soy-based formula is unnecessary and does not address the thrush infection directly.
C: Discontinuing breastfeeding is not necessary and can disrupt the infant's feeding routine.
D: Scraping off the white patches can cause trauma to the oral mucosa and should be avoided.
