Foreign body: Unfortunately these products can have both a local irritant effect and become infected after mucous forms around them. Removal under direct observation by the doc may be you best bet. I have removed beads/pork cubes/paper wads/foam/ toy pieces/etc. . Most of these can be removed in the office. A 2 yo may require sedation but rarely.
