DESCRIPTION
|
|
Children sometimes put small objects such as beans, peas, candy, beads, or small pieces of toys into their nose. These foreign bodies often get stuck or cannot be found.
|
|
SYMPTOMS
|
|
The nose may have a watery discharge that later turns thick, yellow, and foul-smelling. The child may have trouble breathing through the nose, and may complain of pain in the nose. The object may or may not be visible.

CARE
|
|
Blowing the nose may push the object out. If that doesn't work, see the child's doctor. If you try to get the object out by yourself, you could injure the nose.
