<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nSmall items are not always visible in your child\u2019s nose. And you can\u2019t keep an eye on your little ones every second of the day. If you suspect there is something in your child\u2019s nose but can\u2019t see the obstruction<\/a>, look out for these signs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n If something is stuck in your child\u2019s nose, acting quickly to prevent an infection, bleeding<\/a> or obstructed breathing is essential. Watch out for the signs and take a look at our tips for removing the small objects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Mother\u2019s Kiss is an excellent retrieval method for younger children. A review of eight studies on the efficacy of the Mother\u2019s Kiss found that the success rate was 59.9%<\/a>, with no adverse side effects. To perform the Mother\u2019s Kiss, follow these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Try this method once. If the object does not dislodge, bring your child to their provider as soon as possible. Their provider will be able to remove the object in-office. In some cases, your child may require surgery to remove the object.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Finding something in your child\u2019s nose can be a little frightening. Unfortunately, your child is more likely to find it amusing and look for something new to put in their nostril than they are to avoid it in the future. To help prevent repeat instances, take inventory of your child\u2019s toys and other items you have in your home. Take away anything small enough for your child to place in their nose or swallow. If your child is old enough, try explaining why sticking things in their nose is dangerous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To learn more about caring for your little one\u2019s ENT health, contact Charleston ENT & Allergy<\/span> today to make an appointment with one of our specialists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
