A member asked:

Child put a wad of glue off of mag in nose she says it sucked up there and i can't see it. i tried moms kiss and nose blowing. 3 days no sign of it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Time for a visit: An exam with specialized lighting can usually identify retained foreign bodies in this area. I sometimes retrieve wads of paper, food, beads or whatever from this location.It can get wedged up there pretty tight. Afrin (oxymetazoline) squirted up the nose can shrink the walls a bit and help a kid sneeze it out.Failure to remove it usually results in an infection at the site.
