What, Why and How
Many cases have been seen when a foreign body enters the body and disturbs the mechanism of the on-going process inside. The problem is not limited to infants only, adults are victims too. While 80% of the infants are dealt with this problem, 20% of adults are also handled with the same diagnosis of a foreign body.
Well, it is not something which happens out of the blue. There could be anything entering your body through different pathways and cause the inner body to dysfunction. While observing different patients, it was observed that adults get foreign bodies like bugs, insects, ants, cockroaches into their ear and nose. It may not be addressed by the person but the foreign bodies do not find it hard to approach where they target as their pathways are easily available to them.
On the contrary, the results of the toddlers explain that the foreign bodies belong to different categories. They are mostly beads, food particles, toy stuff, buttons etc. It is equally dangerous because infants mostly do this on their own while playing.
If you have something gone inside your ear, or anywhere in any part of the body, you might feel pain and itching in the area along with the following symptoms:
You will feel something inside which will cause continuous irritability.
If it is in the ear, you might face bleeding from the ear, this could be due to damage occurring in the ear canal done by the foreign body,
You might feel nauseous and need to throw up because the ear is directly related to the throat and nose.
