Answer 1

Answer: option A is correct

Explanation:

If i were to be the medical personel in charge i would advice the young college student to change the antibacterial mouthwash to an antifungal mouthwash or salt water as superinfection of candidiasis develops.

I would encourage her to use a soft-bristled toothbrush to avoid further mouth injury. After eating, the young college girl should rinse her mouth for about 30 to 80 seconds with an antifungal mouthwash or salt water.
