| 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.
