Abstract

A 5-year-old boy was brought to the emergency department. His father gave a clear history of a nasal foreign body (plastic part of a toy) that was put while the patient was playing. Attention was paid to correct positioning and avoidance of unnecessary instrumentation which would agitate the child. There was a plastic foreign body anterior to the head of the middle turbinate. The ENT registrar removed it by passing a blunt wax hook past the foreign body and pulling it out. Minor bleeding was controlled with pressure and the patient was discharged on a short course of antibiotic nasal ointment.
