How To Remove a Foreign Body From the Nose
Warnings and Common Errors When Removing a Nasal Foreign Body
Do not open the nasal speculum laterally or use in an unsupported manner. (Brace a finger of the hand holding the speculum on the patient's cheek or nose.) Trying to grab round, smooth objects with forceps often makes them slip deeper. Cease attempts at removal if they are unsuccessful. Making repeated attempts is a common cause of unnecessary trauma. In general, removal by direct visualization and instrumentation is preferable to other techniques.
