Foreign body in the nose

Definition:

First aid for a foreign object inserted into the nose.


Alternative Names:
Nose - objects in
Considerations:

Curious young children may insert small objects into their nose in a normal attempt to explore their own bodies. Potential objects may include food, seeds, dried beans, small toys, crayon pieces, erasers, paper wads, cotton and beads.

A foreign body allowed to remain in the nose may lead to irritation and infection. The child may have difficulty breathing.
