5. Confusing Epstein’s Pearls With Thrush
White spots from Epstein's pearls may look very similar to thrush. Oral thrush is a fungal infection that occurs when tissue in the baby's mouth gets infected. Symptoms of thrush include a white film and bumps on the baby's tongue, the inside of their cheeks and the roof of their mouth. Oral thrush isn't usually serious but can cause difficulty with feeding.
When white bumps appear, having a pediatrician rule out thrush is a good idea. Oral thrush requires treatment to prevent it from spreading.
