Unrest begin with parents since the birth of the baby. Is he healthy? Is it developing right? Is it good addressed in weight? However, in the process of raising a child, you can face other problems. The active baby is everywhere busting his nose. He is interested in a stove and electric sockets, mamines decorations, buttons and more. Often games with unpredictable items are dangerous to the health of the child.

What can get into the nose to the child?

A variety of items fall into the nasal moves. The reason for hitting is closely related to the nature of the subject:

  • alive (mosquitoes, midges, beetles, worms) penetrate the nasal moves in the yard, on the street, sometimes at home;
  • organic (seeds, pieces of food, bone) Kid pushes in the nostril himself, or extraneous particles fall into the nostrils in vomiting, cough;
  • inorganic (beads, buttons, details of toys, cotton wool, polyethylene and others) penetrate into the nasal stroke, the kid himself pushes them, or an extraneous object remains in the nose after medical manipulations;
  • metal (coins, pins, screws, nails, tool tips) fall the same ways as inorganic foreign bodies.

The objects that have fallen into the nasal stroke are divided into x-ray-contrast and x-ray-contrast. The first is easy to detect and localize with X-ray, it will not work with the second.

Symptoms of the presence of a foreign body in nasal passages

To help crude, you must first understand what happened. If the baby shoved a bead or another small detail in the nose, it will immediately become noticeable.


 The foreign bodies in the nose can not be noticed, so if a healthy child is worried about pain and discomfort, transparent mucus from one nostrils should be applied to the nearest medpuncture

Characteristic symptoms will be prompted by what kind of problem arose with crumbs:

  • the kid breathes hard, it is possible to complete one nostrils (see also :);
  • there were bloody discharges or heavily blood from the nose (we recommend reading :);
  • from one nostril, transparent mucus flows;
  • bad sleep and appetite;
  • the voice became benus;
  • kroch complains of pain, his head is spinning.

If you do not pay attention to the first symptoms, complications will emerge. Symptoms will change:

  • yellowish or greenish purulent discharges will appear;
  • there will be a unpleasant smell;
  • there will be signs of inflammation of the nasal mucosa;
  • the formation of rinolites (stones) is possible.

First aid to the baby at home

Obtaining children first aid, first of all we must try not to harm. If there is no confidence in success, you should not try to take decisive measures. It is better to immediately consult a doctor.

However, some actions can be made independently:

  1. You can try to blow the nose if you managed to figure out what nostril the subject is stuck. To do this, the free nostril is pinned with a finger, pressing it to the nasal partition, and make a sharp exhale in the mouth of the baby. You can repeat the operation several times.
  2. An older child can offer to do blow out. To do this, he must take a deep breath breath, then the adult will heazing him a free nostril, and the child will produce a sharp exhale. If there is a movement in the clogged nostril, the process should be repeated before the release of the nasal stroke.
  3. It is also recommended to give a child to smell pepper or tobacco to cause sneezing. However, this method is more dangerous. If the foreign body is stuck firmly, the stormy sneezing will not bear it, and the nasal move will be injured.

A number of actions are categorically not recommended. Do not at home try to pull out the nasal interference. An attempt to get the subject with the help of pricks can aggravate the situation. It is impossible to try to remove a foreign object, pressing on the nose. It is forbidden to rinse the nose with water, remove the interference with a cotton stick or tweezers.

Any of these actions will promote the subject even deeper, the doctor will make it difficult. If bleeding or an extraneous subject arose so deeply that it fails to consider, it is necessary to call an ambulance. If the body came out, but the breath is not restored during the day, the mucus continues from the nose, it is also necessary, without postponing, to seek medical attention.


 You can try to remove a foreign object from the baby's nose on your own, but still it is better to entrust this procedure to the medical professional

When does a foreign body remove a specialist and how to perform the procedure?

If you remove the object from the nose with sneezing or blowing out, you will have to go to the doctor. He will conduct an external examination, additional research will prescribe if necessary. These include radoscopy, rhinoscopy, fibrorinososcopy. These methods will allow determine the exact location of beads or vitamins in the nose.

If the child put a piece of plasticine in her nose, it would be more difficult to get it than a solid object. The body itself tries to free respiratory moves. Abundant mucus release, sneezing can free nose. However, trying to remove it by a mechanical way independently. It is possible to smear the adhesive mass on the large plot of mucous membranes.

The specialist will produce a blunt crochet manipulation, which will allow you to extract an outsider, not traumating the mucous membrane. If necessary, the child will hold local anesthesia.

The manipulation is performed outpatient, hospitalization is required only in very complex or running cases. After extracting, the doctor conducts antiseptic treatment of the nasal stroke and prescribes anti-inflammatory treatment.

In severe cases, when the foreign object was introduced into soft tissues, there was an armor, an operational intervention is required to remove. It is carried out in a hospital, under anesthesia.

To make it easier to extract, it is best to consult a doctor as soon as possible, do not feed and not eat a child before visiting a specialist.

Consequences and complications with long-term ignoring problems

One of the obvious complications in the nose in the nose of an outsider is its promotion above in respiratory tract, followed by hitting the throat and lungs. However, even if this does not happen, a long stay in the nostril of a foreign body will lead to an inflammatory process.

Damage to the mucosa can take the character of ulceration, constant irritation is fraught with the growth of polyps, necrosis. Long contact with the stimulus will affect both the organs of vision. Putting in a lacrimal bag can begin, inflammation of the tear-conductive paths. Purulent rhinosinusitis, sometimes perforation of the walls of the nose also arise with an uncreamed blockage of the nasal stroke by an extraneous object.

Prevention measures

The main method of prevention is the removal of the places of all small items to inaccessible to the baby. Toys for children who can shove themselves into the nose or ear small thing, should not contain suitable parts for this. Games with plasticine or mosaic should only take place with the participation of adults.

Special attention should be paid to the reception of food. At this time, you should not talk to the baby, mix it, encourage his conversations. If the child is suppressed, it is necessary to raise it for both legs so that food goes out. When vomiting should be tilt the head of the baby so that the vomits will not fall into the respiratory tract. Compliance with the rules will help to avoid trouble.

Children love to explore the world around, and endlessly trying to put themselves in their nose, ears and mouth all that falls on hand - buttons, beans, toys, etc.
Everyone knows that the kids need an eye yes eye. But moms very often do not have time to keep track of a child, as he already has a foreign body in the nose. What to do in this case, how to give the child first aid and how to avoid it - the answers to these and other questions will find in our article.

Foreign bodies most often fall into the nose for children of younger (up to 5-7 years). Playing, the children put a wide variety of items in their nose and their friends. In addition, the foreign body may fall into the nose during its injury, or during vomiting through the nasopharynx. In older children sometimes find cotton swabs, which they set to stop the nasal bleeding.

What foreign bodies may be in a nose?

  • Organic (pieces of food, fruit bones, plant seeds, matches, pieces of paper, etc.).
  • Live foreign bodies (insects, worms from the esophagus, leech, larvae).
  • Inorganic (buttons, stones, beads, parts of toys, sponges, pieces of foam rubber, paper, wool).
  • Metal (coins, buttons, badges, nails, pins, needles, etc.).
  • What are the signs that you can understand that a child is in the nose in the nose?

The main and sometimes single sign of the foreign body in the nasal cavity is one-sided nasal congestion.

If the foreign body in the nose of the child is long, purulent discharges with blood admixture may appear, the relevant odor from the corresponding half of the nose, especially with a decaying organic foreign body, skin irritation occurs at the entrance to the nose.

The first reactions to the ingress of the foreign body (sneezing, tearing, watery allocations) are most often disappearing.

What is the danger of a foreign body in the nose?

The long stay of the foreign body in the nasal cavity leads to the formation of rhinolites (nasal stones), the development of inflammation of the nasal mucosa and the appearance of a bleeding wound.

Unsuccessful attempts to remove the foreign bodies are further injured by the mucous membrane, cause bleeding, promoting the foreign body deep into the nasal cavity, in the nasophage, where it can get into the respiratory tract and the esophagus.

How to avoid hitting foreign objects in the nose of a child?

There is a simple, but very effective method of extracting foreign bodies from a nose called "Mamm Kiss", which was described in 1965 by the general practitioner by Vladimir Storor in the New English Medical Journal (New English Journal Medicine).

What is the method of "Kiss Mom"?

- Tightly attach your lips to the child's mouth
- in one finger tightly push the nostril-free from the foreign body
- heavily breathe in the mouth of the child
- The air "squeeze" the stuck foreign body.

This technique showed very high results - its effectiveness is about 60%. Although it is still recommended to perform the reception "Mother's Kiss" in the presence of a doctor.

Important! To avoid the displacement of the foreign body in the deep deposits of the nose, the nasopharynk and the respiratory tract, it is forbidden to remove round foreign objects from the nose with tweezers or tongs. This does not apply to foreign bodies of another form (matches, pieces of paper, rubber, etc.).

Diagnostics

Often to diagnose is very difficult, because foreign bodies most often fall into the nose of the child, when none of the adults sees it. And only in the development of the disease, all its circumstances are found.

To detect the foreign body in the nose, radiography is carried out. If this method of diagnosing proper effect does not give, other research methods are carried out.

Foreign body in the nose: Treatment

If the child got a foreign body into the nose - contact. The foreign body from the nasal cavity is most often removed outpatient (in place), but if complications arise, hospitalization may be required.

The easiest way is to unimpose the nose after instillation of the vasoconstrictor solution. This technique is most effective with small sizes of the foreign body.

If the foreign body did not come out, it is removed under local anesthesia with a stupid hook. In severe cases, this operation is carried out under anesthesia.

Do not leave a child without supervision! And be healthy!

Any household subject, which in any way turned out to be in the nasal cavity, is called a foreign body. Buttons, coins, nuts, beads, minor parts from toys often appear as foreign bodies. Often, children are faced with this problem, who just started crawling or walking. The kids will know the world, trying to shove different items in the mouth or nose.

With long-term arrival in the nose, rhinolite is developing - the formation of limestone and phosphoric salts around the foreign bodies.

Varieties of foreign objects

According to statistics, doctors most often get beads from the nose, coins, pieces of paper and wool, grains (peas, beans), buttons.

Small pieces of food can fall into the nose, if the baby, for example, coughed at eating. Food enters the nose through boaans - special holes that connect the cavity of the nose and pharynx.

In the nose cavity, teeth can be detected with incorrect teething of fangs or cutters.

Foreign objects are divided into 5 species:

  • live (insects, leeches);
  • organic (food, seeds);
  • inorganic (paper, wool, toys, beads);
  • x-ray-contrast (metal objects);
  • non-contrast.

Symptoms

When penetrating an extraneous subject in the nose, the child begins to sneeze. Parents can not always keep track of the child and discover the foreign body in the nose, so if the child starts to sneeze the special meaning to this phenomenon, no one will give. This symptom disappears soon, as the item is successfully captured there.

Other features may arise, which should be alerted by parents:

  1. the brightest symptom of the foreign body in the nose is one-sided nose layout,
  2. the appearance of unpleasant odor mucous absorption is possible with blood impurities, as well as unilateral purulent discharge from the nose.
  3. it is noted hyperemia of the skin entry of the corresponding nostril.
  4. headache on the one hand.

Diagnostics

The otolaryngologist is engaged in issues on finding and seizing foreign bodies from the nose.

The doctor listens to the patient's complaints, after which it holds rhinoscopy (inspection of the nasal moves with the help of special mirrors). With anterior rososcopy, the nasal octic mucous membrane is detected, in which the foreign body is detected. Most often it is located at the front end of the bottom nasal shell. When conducting anterior rososcopy, moving white larvae is sometimes visible - living foreign bodies

X-ray examination is advisable if the foreign body is X-ray-contrast, that is, if the object in the nose, metallic. In this case, on the radiograph, the object looks like a dark spot. Manipulation near the foreign body in the nose can cause bleeding.

The foreign body can penetrate into the topless sinus, causing a sinusitis or diseases of the leather pathways.

Nizhny nasal stroke - the most frequent place of arrival of the foreign body (between the nasal partition and the lower sink). In case of injuries, the foreign body falls into the middle nose

First aid in the horn of the foreign body

When a foreign body is found in the nose, it is necessary to seek medical care. If there is no such possibility, you need to hold a number of events:

  1. Drink the nose with vasoconducting drops. It must be exactly a drop, and not spray, because the spray can only push deep into the foreign body.
  2. If the child can not be very small to tell what nostril is the subject, then you need to carefully watch him to understand what nostril the breathing is difficult. Close up a healthy nostril with a finger, pressed to the nasal partition, and make some strong exhalations in a row. Mom should try to breathe air from the baby's nostrils.
  3. If in this way it was not possible to get the subject, you can cause sneezing in a child, for example, giving a black ground pepper to him.
  4. If all of the above actions did not help get an object from the nose, you should immediately consult a doctor. It is advisable to breathe your child to breathe, so that the item has not moved deeper with nasal breathing. It is impossible to feed and steal.

Prohibited actions

  • picking in the nose with a finger, a wand, tweezers in order to pull out the foreign body;
  • press the nostril with an extraneous subject;
  • washing the nose with water.

These manipulations are capable not only to push the subject deeper, but also damage the mucous membrane by causing bleeding.

Medical Help

The elimination of the foreign bodies is carried out outpatiently in the absence of complications.

An extraneous object is removed by blunt hook under local anesthesia and when introducing vasoconstrictor droplets. Convenient for this purpose and a groove probe. It is impractical, and sometimes even extremely dangerous, remove a slippery foreign body with tweezers, because it will only push the foreign body deeper. With the help of a nasal cavity, leeches are removed from the nasal cavity.

The smallest children are spending under general anesthesia if the child does not give it to do a quietly doctor under local anesthesia.

To remove a large insect child asking to blow the rooking or use a hook.

Drying the nasal cavity with various solutions is risky, as the solution can get into the ears.

After extracting a foreign body, medications are treated, which will remove inflammation and other symptoms.

Prevention

  • Do not leave small children unattended;
  • Choose toys to a child according to age;
  • All small items keep the place out of the reach of children;
  • Remove the bones and grains of fruit yourself;
  • Observe the nose hygiene, since the child often shoves the items because something in the nose itching is interferes.

Foreign items in children in the nose can be organic and inorganic origin.

In the first case it is most often seeds, nuts, berries, candies, vitamins, as well as solid pieces of food - vegetables, fruits, crusts of bread, cookies. In addition, this can be attributed to different insects that can fly into the nose when the child walks on the street.

The objects of inorganic origin are all that the child can face at home or in kindergarten:

  • beads, buttons, wheels from cars, small details of the designer, rolling, pieces of paper, plasticine, small coins, buttons, clips, cloves;
  • shards of nasal bones, glass, pebbles, found in the nasal cavity as a result of the injury of the nose and its sinuses.

As you understood the composition of the material, the texture of its surface and a variety of forms, foreign bodies are quite diverse.

By the time of presence in the nasal cavity, foreign bodies are divided into:

  • sharp. These are those that recently (minutes, hours) were introduced into the nasal cavity;
  • chronic. These are those present in the nasal cavity long enough (several days and months);
  • rinolites. They are also called nasal stones. They are formed with a long-term presence of a foreign body in the nose. As a result, it processes the connective tissue, which is formed due to damage to the mucous membrane of the foreign object and the development of inflammation.

Symptoms

Signs of presence of sharp nose foreign bodies are similar to the picture of acute rhinitis (runny nose).

Children complain about:

  • itching in the nasal cavity (itchs in the nose);
  • hidden breathing nose;
  • frequent parole sneezing;
  • abundant watery discharges from the nose;
  • bleeding, because when damaged the mucous membrane of the nose can be selected with strengths of blood, or nasal bleeding;
  • pain in the nose when injuring the mucous membrane of the foreign object.

Adult patients are almost always told when and that they were injected into their nose. Children make up an exception. They are often afraid that they will be punished by their parents for their trips, and silent about what happened. Therefore, for parents, it is important to detect as soon as possible and pull out the foreign body to avoid the development of complications.

How to distinguish the usual runny nose from the presence of a foreign body in the nose?

If a child put a thing in the nose, to understand that this is not a runny nose, some signs will help.

Signs of differences in a non-nose from a foreign body in the nasal cavity:

  1. In the presence of a foreign body, the process is usually one-sided, that is, it is also to flow only from one nostril. With a cold, these signs are bilateral.
  2. Sudden start. All signs appear suddenly against the background of the full health of the child. If it's a runny nose, then kids usually complain about malaise (headache, drowsiness appears, the body temperature rises).

If you think about the presence of a foreign body, but definitely not sure about this, be sure to show the child to the doctor. An extra inspection of the baby will not hurt, but will help to avoid complications, if there is a foreign body.

Chronic foreign bodies on the clinic are similar to chronic rhinitis or (inflammation of the incomplete sinuses).

The child bothers:

  • difficult nose breathing on the one hand;
  • purulent or sucrovic-purulent (with strengths of blood) discharge from a nose with an unpleasant odor;
  • inflammation of the mucous membrane of the nose with the formation of purulent crusts.

Rinolite is formed as a result of a long presence of a foreign body, due to which the bounded inflammation of the mucous membranes occurs, characterized by the growth of the connective tissue and sedimentation of salts, which, ultimately, ends with the ingrowth of the foreign body with the mucous membrane.

Children in this stage are usually complaining that it is difficult for them to breathe nose. Rinolites are often detected by chance with preventive inspections.

Ways of penetration of foreign bodies in the nose

From outside, that is, outside:

  • children are self-tapping something in a nose;
  • some particles may be in a nose as a result of medical manipulations (pieces of bandtics, cutters);
  • on the street to nose can be seal different small insects;
  • the kid can breathe down the fluff, wool or pollen particles.

From the inside:

  • if the child is given while eating and begins to cough, the pieces of food fall into the nasal cavity through the joans;
  • it happens that food particles fall into the nose when the child tears.

What to do parents?

What if you saw the baby shoved into the nose, for example, seed?

Treatment of diseases of the nose, including the removal of foreign bodies, is the problem of an otorhinolaryngologist (ENT doctor).

If you see a foreign object or suspect that it can be in a nose at the child, contact him. If this happens in the evening or on the day off and the clinic does not work, you can contact the reception of a child of a children's hospital.

Your child will examine the duty officer of the ENT doctor, and if not, then the pediatrician duty. The doctor will make rhinoscopy - inspection of the nasal cavity using the nasal mirror - and if possible, the foreign body removes. This procedure is completely painless.

Therefore, if your baby is older than 2 years old, tell him about it so that he is not afraid and gave a doctor to quietly inspect himself.

If during the rhinoscopy of the foreign body is not visible or the baby is very worried and does not give itself to examine, additional examination methods can be appointed: ultrasound or. But this happens quite rarely.

What can be done at home?

You can try to remove the foreign item on your own at home, if it is close and you see it well.

  1. Ask a child to clinging up, closing an empty nostril and slightly tilting the head forward.
  2. You can call sneezing, giving the child to smell pepper. When the kid will sneeze, clamp a blank nostril.
  3. If you can not pull out the subject, ask the baby breathing mouth. It will not allow the subject to move deeper. In this situation, it is worthwhile to refer to the doctor.

Self try to pull out the foreign body is allowed in children over five years old when they understand you well and clearly fulfill your requests.

Never try to remove the object with your finger or using something long and sharp. You can injure the mucous membrane or push back even deeper.

In cases where the kid is very worried or has blood from his nose, the removal of the foreign object is risky due to the danger of complications. Therefore, it is not worth experimenting, and you should go to the otorinolaryngologist.

Methods for extracting foreign bodies from the nasal cavity in medical institutions

If the foreign body landed into the nose recently, the easiest way is considered to be reinforced nose. In the absence of an effect in the nasal cavity, a solution of adrenaline or a drop with a vasoconductive effect is spattered and re-released.

Removing a foreign body using tools.

Before removing it, the children perform anesthesia, using a 10% lidocaine solution. Preschoolers may need anesthesia.

The tool is chosen depending on the characteristics of the foreign body. To remove the foreign body from soft (rolling, paper, grass) or solitary elongated (match) material uses tweezers. The solid foreign body of the rounded form with a smooth surface is removed using a nasal hook.

The operation is required to remove rhinolites, or in case of seriously injured nasal.

Conclusion

Nose cavity foreign bodies are a frequent phenomenon in children, especially at the age of five. The task of parents is to not allow dangerous items to reach the reach of the child. If it happened, it is important to suspect and extract a foreign object to prevent the process chronic.

Little kids, because of their age, very curious. Making the first steps, being on a walk, playing with adults and peers, they know the world around. Very often, the kids make such actions that in the conscious age they would not think even to do: jump from running on the grass and in the puddles, paint the body with markers, stuffed all sorts of small objects into the nose and ears. Sometimes during the game kids can shove into the nose of their little buddy or younger brother (sisters) tiny little things. So that parents do not panic in such cases and did not disregard the fact of entering alien items in the nasal pass, we will try to figure out what to do and how to help the child before the doctor's arrival.

The danger of foreign bodies in the nasal passage

Any item in the nasal pass is called a foreign body. The following groups of foreign bodies are separated, which most often turn out to be in the nasal cavity:

  • Inorganic subjects (Buttons, beads, small toys and their details, cotton, polyethylene). Most often, the kids themselves pushed these items into the nose, but sometimes they remain after medical and hygienic manipulations (wool from cotton wand).
  • Organic subjects (seeds, peas, grass and leaves, small particles of food). They fall into the nose or a violent way (the child himself shoves them in the nostrils), or when vomiting or cough during food.
  • Living organisms (mosquitoes and midges, bugs or worms). Penetrate yourself while walking, and sometimes even at home.
  • Metal subjects (coins, bolts, magnetic details of designers, nails, etc.). They fall the same way as inorganic items.

Very often, parents and surrounding adults (grandmothers, educators in kindergarten, neighbors) for some time do not even notice the hitting of the foreign bodies in the toddler's spout. But after a few hours after this kind of problem, the child arises the following characteristic symptoms (in aggregate or single):

  • blanched voice (when conversing it becomes very noticeable);
  • itching in the nasal cavity (the child constantly scratches the nose);
  • heaviness with breathing through the nose, the constriction of one or both nostrils (kids in such cases are with a constantly ajar mouth or coat with breathing through the nose);
  • frequent sneezing (sometimes bredit);
  • the appearance of a water mucus from the nose (do not confuse with the selection with a cold);
  • bleeding and isolating with blood streaks from nasal passage;
  • sleep disorder and appetite;
  • complaints of headache and dizziness;
  • attacks of nausea and vomiting (the last listed symptoms occur due to insufficient oxygen intake and circulating disorders).

With long-term finding a foreign body in the nose, heavier signs may occur: inflammation of the mucous membrane, purulent discharge, formation of nose stones (ingesting foreign objects by connecting tissue), sinusitis and chronic rhinitis. In the event of these symptoms, it is not necessary to pull and independently try to extract objects - it is necessary to immediately access the district doctor to provide medical care. In this case, surgery will be most often required.

First aid to the child at home

Trying to independently get a foreign object from the nose, only if it is in the field of view (is well visible to the naked eye). To do this, you can conduct the following manipulations:

  • Invite the baby to sniff ground pepper (tobacco) or kalanchoe juice free nostril. All this will cause sneezing, during which the stuck item can jump on their own. When sneezing, try to hold the empty nostril so that the air pushes the foreign body.
  • Slightly tilting the head forward and holding a free nostril, ask the baby to sharply unimpose (exhale through the nose).
  • Cut into the nose vasoconducting drops (these drugs will help to remove the swelling) and ask the child to be unimpred.

  • For babies, you can offer to use the Mom's Kiss method. Tightly putting the lips to the mouth of the baby and holding a free nostril, it is necessary to breathe in the mouth of the baby. Air flow can squeeze (or help promote forward) stuck item.
  • In the case of entering the nasal passage of the insect (mosquito, beetle), kap a couple of drops of vegetable oil or glycerol and tilt the head down. There is a high probability that the insect will come out with liquid. If this did not happen, the appeal to specialists is inevitable!
  • Light stroking movements on the nose on top. Try to promote a small subject out. He strongly pressed on the nose is strictly prohibited!

  • In no case, do not attempt to get items with cotton sticks and tweezers, as well as washing the nose with water. During such procedures, the possibility of promoting a foreign body is still deeper inside that it will subsequently complicate the work of the doctor.
  • Before inspecting the doctor, do not eat anything to eat anything and drink, because during chewing (swallowing) bead or a bone can move deeper.

If all of the listed manipulations do not lead to a positive result, it is necessary to immediately apply for help in a clinic or duty hospital. In cases of bleeding and acute pain, immediately call quick help.

Special procedures in medical institutions

If you fail to pull out an extraneous subject, you failed to pull out, try as soon as possible to seek help in the medical institution.

After the initial inspection of the ENT, some additional research can be assigned: x-ray, (fibro-) rososcopy. With the help of these procedural research, the specialist can accurately determine how far the alien item is stuck.

A blunt special crochet doctor pulls out a foreign body, trying not to injure the mucous membrane. To reduce pain symptoms, a child can make local anesthesia (anesthesia). In some difficult cases, even general anesthesia are offered.

Slices of plasticine either are much more difficult or any other soft object (pieces of bread, food residues). To capture the crochet (tongs) at once all the foreign body is almost impossible, so it has to retrieve it. At the same time, it is possible that small particles of plasticine can remain inside the mucous membrane and further cause inflammatory processes.

For the removal of soft items or thin long-standing Lor doctors use medical tweezers. Round items (beads, peas, magnetic balls) pull out the nose crochet.

All procedures for the removal of foreign bodies are made very quickly. Already a few hours later, most likely let you go home with the baby. Hospitalization may be required only in the most complex situations (with strong damage to mucosa and open bleeding) or in launched states requiring surgical interventions. In such cases, it is best to stay under the supervision of medical staff to complete recovery.

After extracting objects from the nasal passage, the ENT conducts antiseptic processing and prescribes the reception of anti-inflammatory drugs that will help avoid further inflammatory processes.

Preventive measures

To avoid minor items in the nose, the following elementary requirements should be observed:

  1. In the places of the game of young children, remove all sorts of small things. Hide buttons, beads, matches and other similar items in separate storage containers and put in inaccessible places (high on the shelves, in closing cabinets and couches). Do not allow playing kindergarten children with coins and a designer containing small details.

  1. For the game of kids, pick up holistic toys that do not contain freely separated small details. Little soldiers and animal figures, toys from kinders and other trifles are not suitable for kids up to 3 years.
  2. Play with mosaic and plasticine (kinetic sand) follows only under the attentive observation of adults. Before each game, it is worth reminding a child that he does not take into his mouth and did not put the mosaic and plasticine pieces into the nose.
  3. Playing in the sandbox, make sure that the child does not put small pebbles and sand into the nose.
  4. Teach the child during food intake is not distracted by foreign conversations. Do not mix and do not tease the baby at a time when it eats. Otherwise, the danger arises to be styled while eating.

  1. In case of an attack of vomiting, try to hold the baby, tilting the head a little down. It will not allow the lots of vomit to get into the respiratory tract and the nasal passage.
  2. Try not to perform long walks in places of insects accumulation (near the swampy locations, not far from the anthills).
  3. Daily vacuuming and several times a week do wet cleaning in rooms where kids are located.
  4. Do not allow insect reproduction in residential premises! In the summer, use mosquito traps (flies) and mosquito nets on windows and doors.
  5. After walking and every time you inspect a small child before bedtime, ask about his well-being. If you suspect the above symptoms, please contact pediatricians and ambulances.

In compliance with all preventive measures, you can avoid the unpleasant consequences of foreign bodies in the nose of a child.
