Article Synopsis
- Nasal foreign bodies (NFB) are frequently encountered in children at emergency departments, with most children (82%) being asymptomatic upon admission.
- The common symptoms in symptomatic children (18%) include nasal discharge, nosebleeds, and pain, with younger children being more likely to insert organic materials.
- Despite a low overall complication rate (5%), certain factors like the type of foreign body and method of removal can increase the risk of complications, especially with button batteries, highlighting the need for careful diagnosis and management.
