Accidently inhaled or ingested Foreign Bodies in Ear, Nose or Throat
When the kid starts moving around by way of crawling or walking, it brings much joy to the family, but at the same time the natural urge to explore everything in the suroundings sometimes becomes a major problem. By instinct the child puts everything into the mouth and this often results in a swallowed or inhaled foreign body. These instances often end up as emergencies.
All kinds of foreign bodies enter the ear, nose and throat. When the child starts walking and playing with his friends, he has the tendency to put things in his mouth or ear or accidentally inject something while playing with things.
An unbelievably large number of things can be encountered as foreign bodies. It leaves one wondering how it is even possible that such things enter the body
In the nose, metallic objects like screws, nuts, ball bearings, beads, thermocol pieces, pulses, seeds, buttons, bindis, small parts of toys, leaves etc.can enter. Similarly, beads, pulses, match sticks, cotton, polythene pieces to insects, accidentally enter the ear.
