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 observing different patients, it was observed that adults get foreign bodies like bugs, insects, ants, cockroaches into their ear and nose.
