Result and Observation: Children of 2-10 years age groups were reportedly more victimized (61%). The major incidences were attributed to coin ingestion (56%) followed by fish spine (25%), meat bone (11%) and safety pin (5%), other tablet cover. FB impaction was as high as 75% at cricopharnyx and 11% at oropharynx. The patients were managed without any surgical invasion. FBs were retrieved by Magill’s forceps with laryngoscopy and flexible oesophagoscopy intervention. No morbidity and mortality was occurred.
