Helping you understand Our healthcare
A foreign body refers to any object that gets stuck in the ear canal, nasal passage, or throat. This may include beads, food particles, insects, small toys, or other items—commonly seen in children but also possible in adults.
Ear: Pain, decreased hearing, discharge, buzzing sound
Nose: Blockage, foul smell, nosebleeds, sneezing
Throat: Difficulty swallowing, coughing, choking, hoarseness
Yes. If not removed promptly, it can cause infection, swelling, bleeding, or damage to surrounding tissues. Objects in the throat can pose a choking risk and may require emergency intervention.
No. Trying to remove a foreign body at home can push it further inside and cause injury. It’s best to seek immediate medical attention from an ENT specialist.
