Nose Foreign Body Causes

• The vast majority of foreign bodies are placed in the nose voluntarily for an endless variety of reasons. When questioning children about this possibility, it is important to approach them in a nonjudgmental manner. Otherwise, you run an increased risk that the child will deny having put something in their nose to avoid punishment. This could easily result in a delay of its discovery and increase the risk of complications.

• Trauma is another common cause for items to get shoved inside the nose. When you fall or get struck in the face, it is important to consider the possibility that an object may be stuck in the nose and be completely out of view.
