Foreign body removal is the extraction of an object that has become lodged where it shouldn't be —for example in the ear, nose, throat, or soft tissues— using a maneuver or a minor procedure. It's usually performed by an otolaryngologist or a maxillofacial surgeon, and the general practitioner can handle simple or initial cases.

When is it indicated? For accidentally introduced or embedded objects that cause discomfort, obstruction, or risk of infection.

What to expect? The professional assesses the location and chooses the safest technique to remove it, taking care of the affected area.

If an object got stuck and doesn't come out easily, avoid trying to remove it yourself and see a specialist to have it removed properly.
