Understanding Nasal Foreign Bodies in the Indian Context

Children often insert beads, seeds, or erasers into their nose, risking infection or inhalation. Ajuda provides quick, gentle removal with pediatric ENT specialists.

When to Consult Our Nasal Emergency Team

Prompt ENT care prevents sinusitis, septal injury, and aspiration.

2️⃣ Endoscopic Visualisation Scope confirms location and guides removal.

3️⃣ Sedation Planning Choose appropriate anesthesia for age and cooperation.
