Foreign Bodies in Nose or Ear
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
A foreign body in the nose or ear is the presence of an object lodged in these cavities, a situation that occurs frequently in young children but that can also present in adults.
Common symptoms: In the nose there may be discharge from one side only, foul odor, or obstruction; in the ear, discomfort, decreased hearing, or a feeling of having something inside.
When to see a doctor? It is important to seek care without trying to remove the object yourself, since inappropriate maneuvers can push it in or injure the passage.
Which specialist treats it? The otolaryngologist has the instruments to safely inspect and remove foreign bodies from the nose and ear. When it is suspected, the prudent course is a prompt professional evaluation.
