Foreign body in the nose
Do you like this story?
If a foreign object becomes lodged in your nose: |
Don't probe at the object with a cotton swab or other tool. Don't try to inhale the object by |
forcefully breathing in. Instead, breathe through your mouth until the object is removed. |
Blow your nose gently to try to free the object, but don't blow hard or repeatedly. If |
necessary, close the opposite nostril by applying gentle pressure and then breathing out |
normally. |
If the object is visible and you can easily grasp it with tweezers, gently remove it. |
Call for emergency medical assistance or go to your local emergency room if these |
methods fail. |
