FOREIGN BODY IN THE EAR
The ENT Clinic, Dr Sandeep Uppal and his team are adept at managing cases where children have inserted objects into their ears or noses, ensuring quick and sensitive care.
For a situation involving a foreign body in the ear, the following steps should be taken:
DO NOT PROBE
Avoid inserting any objects or fingers into the ear, as this can push the foreign body deeper and potentially damage the ear canal or eardrum.
STAY CALM
Keep the affected individual calm. If it’s a child, reassure them and keep them from putting their hands to their ear, which can worsen the situation.
TILT THE HEAD
Depending on the type of object, sometimes tilting the head to the affected side can help the object to fall out.
DO NOT USE HOME REMEDIES
Avoid using oil, glue, or other substances to try to remove the object.
FOLLOW UP
After the object has been removed, follow any additional care instructions provided by the healthcare professional.
Remember, early and appropriate intervention can prevent complications such as infection, chronic pain, or hearing loss
