Objetos en la nariz.

Definición:

Este artículo aborda los primeros auxilios que se deben prestar cuando entra un objeto extraño en la nariz.

Consideraciones generales:

Los niños pequeños y curiosos pueden introducirse objetos pequeños en la nariz en un intento normal por explorar sus propios cuerpos. Estos objetos potenciales pueden abarcar alimentos, semillas, granos secos, juguetes pequeños, pedazos de lápices de colores, borradores, bolitas de papel, algodón y cuentas.
