Summary

Introduction

Nose and throat though being a common entity needs specific technique and condition to remove. Nose and throat foreign bodies (FB) are common in otorhinolaryngological clinical practice. It is commonly seen in children who have habit of inserting nearby objects in their nose, ear or mouth. This can cause minor irritation to life threatening problem. Removal of FB requires good light, a cooperative or fully restrained patient and a gentle approach by the clinician. An accurate diagnosis of the FB should be made prior to attempts to remove it [1,2]. Capacity building of the primary level physicians to handle foreign body insertion cases can lessen the stress of the victim children and their parents [3]
