What Is a Foreign Body in the Nose and Ears?

A foreign body refers to any object that accidentally gets lodged in the nasal passage or ear canal. In children, curiosity often leads to inserting objects into these openings, while adults may experience accidental entry of insects or earwax blockages. If left untreated, a foreign body can cause pain, swelling, bleeding, infections, or hearing issues.
