6. Confusing Epstein’s Pearls With Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease
Hand, foot and mouth disease is common for children under five years of age. It's a virus that causes sores and blisters on the hands, feet and inside the mouth. Hand, foot and mouth disease usually resolves in a few days, but it can make it difficult and painful for a baby to drink or breastfeed, and they may become dehydrated.
Because hand, foot and mouth disease may mimic Epstein's pearls, a pediatrician should examine the baby to make an accurate diagnosis.
