Removal of foreign bodies from the nose, nasopharynx and ears
All about removing a foreign body from the ENT organs
Foreign bodies entering the ENT organs is a fairly common situation in young children, and sometimes in adults. In this case, there is a very high risk of complications. In case of entry, you should urgently seek specialized help from an otolaryngologist and do not try to remove the foreign body yourself, in order to prevent its further advancement.
Children quite often, during play or as an experiment, can put small foreign objects into their nose, ear, or mouth. To avoid such situations, it is recommended to prevent children from playing with small objects at least until they are three years old.
In adults, such situations occur when safety precautions are not followed with small objects (nails, bolts, nuts, pins, etc.), as well as when cotton swabs are used incorrectly. It is possible for solid small food particles to get into the throat (fruit, fish bones).
An insect can also get into the ear canal.
If such an incident occurs, urgently seek emergency medical attention from a specialist.
What are the symptoms of a foreign body in the ear?
If a foreign body gets into the ear, a person may experience ear pain, a feeling of congestion, noise, skin damage, and bleeding if the eardrum and/or ear canal are damaged.
If a foreign object gets deep enough into the ear, dizziness and nausea may occur. Foreign bodies in the ear also include dense wax plugs, the removal of which is performed on an outpatient basis by a specialist.
What are the symptoms of a foreign body in the nose?
The presence of a foreign body in the nose can cause a number of unpleasant symptoms, including difficulty breathing through the nose, pain, and a feeling of discomfort or pressure in the nasal passage.
One-sided nasal congestion is often observed, accompanied by a runny nose and discharge, which may later become thick and foul-smelling. In some cases, redness or swelling of the mucous membrane may occur, as well as increased tearing or frequent sneezing.
What are the symptoms of a foreign body in the throat?
If a foreign body gets stuck in the throat, a person may experience a sharp stabbing pain at the site of the blockage, profuse salivation, discomfort when swallowing, and a sensation of a foreign object.
Shortness of breath, a barking cough, difficulty breathing, and even a change in voice may also occur. Getting objects stuck in the throat is extremely dangerous as it can cause spasm of the vocal cords, blockage of the airway, and cause asphyxia, which requires immediate medical attention.
