Foreign body removal refers to the safe extraction of objects that have accidentally entered the ear, nose, or throat. This is very common in children but can also occur in adults. Items such as beads, seeds, cotton, insects, or small toys may become stuck and cause pain, discomfort, discharge, bleeding, or difficulty breathing, depending on the location.
Attempting to remove a foreign body at home can push it deeper or cause injury. At the clinic, an E.N.T specialist uses proper instruments and techniques to remove the object safely with minimal discomfort.
If a foreign object is suspected in the ear, nose, or throat, it is important to seek medical care immediately. Early and professional removal helps prevent infection, injury, and serious complications.
