Foreign objects in the nose are common in children while playing, being active, and curious about life around them. Parents need to be alert to cases where children have foreign objects stuck in their noses and need to know how to handle them promptly, minimizing the consequences.

This is an ENT emergency that is more common in children than adults (75% in children under 4 years old), because children often have a habit of putting objects in their mouth and their airway protection reflex has not yet been established.
