What to do if a child has foreign matter in his nose

Children are relatively young, so parents must pay attention to safety issues when they are playing. Try not to let children touch small objects because children have no safety awareness at this time. If some foreign objects are stuffed into the nose, it may cause serious harm. At this time, parents must learn some emergency first aid measures. Let us briefly understand what to do if a child has foreign objects in the nose.

What to do if your child has foreign matter in his nose

Blow air to let the foreign object rush out with the air flow: let the baby cover both ears with his hands, the parents press the nostril on the side without foreign objects with their fingers, and then blow gently into the baby's mouth with their mouth. Usually, when a foreign object enters the nasal cavity, the nasal secretions increase, the nasal cavity becomes slippery, and the foreign object can be carried out when the air flows through. Parents must not use clips to remove foreign objects for their babies without permission, because the foreign objects may be accidentally inserted into the nasal cavity and cause harm to the baby.

What to do if you find your child putting foreign objects in his nose

1. Press the nostril on the side without foreign objects and blow your nose. This will use the air pressure to blow out the foreign objects.

2. Twist a piece of paper to stimulate the nasal mucosa, causing the person to sneeze, which can often expel the foreign body.

3. When eating, rice particles may occasionally enter the nasal cavity through the posterior nasal aperture due to talking or coughing. At this time, if you still cannot blow air out from the front nostrils by blowing your nose hard, you can do the opposite, that is, inhale air forcefully from the nostrils, suck the rice grains into the mouth and then exhale.

4. Of course, after discovering foreign objects in the nasal cavity, it is best to send the child to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time. Because the above methods are not necessarily feasible, even if the foreign body has been removed, the doctor needs to conduct further examination to see if there are any foreign bodies left and whether the nasal mucosa is damaged, so as to provide more appropriate treatment.

When parents are taking care of their children, they should always pay attention to their every move to prevent the baby from eating what he should not eat and causing dangerous situations. Because the child does not understand what he can eat and what he cannot eat, he may think it is fun and put things up his nose. Of course, he is afraid that his parents will scold him so he is unwilling to tell his parents. He will only tell his parents when he feels uncomfortable, which may be several days later. So it is very dangerous.
