Abstract
A 5-year-old boy was referred acutely to the on-call ENT doctor following multiple remote consultations with his general practitioner with 2 months history of worsening left-sided foul-smelling nasal discharge and bleeding. He underwent examination under anaesthesia and removal of nasal foreign body which was subsequently identified as a button battery. This case highlights the challenges posed to clinicians during the COVID-19 pandemic but also serves as a reminder to keep a high index of suspicion and low threshold for clinical examination in suspected cases of nasal foreign body.
