Foreign Body Removals (e.g., Splinters, Small Objects)

Understanding Foreign Body Removals

Foreign bodies are objects that become lodged in the body, typically in the skin, ears, nose, or throat. Common examples include splinters, small beads, food particles, or tiny toys. These objects can cause discomfort, pain, and even infection if not promptly and properly removed. Foreign body removals are often necessary to prevent complications and ensure the affected area heals correctly.

Schedule an Appointment

If you observe these symptoms in your child and are concerned about a foreign body, it is important to seek a comprehensive evaluation from a healthcare professional. Scheduling an appointment with us can help in safely removing the foreign object and preventing potential complications, ensuring your child’s comfort and well-being.

  • Visible Object: The foreign object may be visible, such as a splinter sticking out of the skin or a small item in the nose or ear.

  • Difficulty Breathing or Swallowing: If the foreign body is in the throat, it may cause breathing or swallowing difficulties.

  • Discharge or Bleeding: Pus, unusual discharge, or bleeding from the affected area, indicating possible infection.

  • Irritation or Persistent Itching: Continuous irritation or itching, especially if the object is small and not easily visible.
