By Monica Sethi | ENT, pediatrics, procedures | Comments are Closed | 25 January, 2019 | 0

Here is a pearl about nasal foreign bodies:   The nose is the MC site of fb insertion, seen mostly in children <5 years. Most of the time, the risk of aspiration and complications are low. However, if the fb is a button battery or a set of paired disc magnets, the risks can beRead more
