A foreign body is anything that gets into your body that doesn't belong there, like a splinter. Little kids often put things like pebbles, beads, food, eraser tips, or toy parts in their ears or noses. You probably don't do stuff like that anymore, but maybe an insect has flown into your eye or nose.
Often, our bodies can get a foreign body out on their own by blinking or sneezing. But when they can't, kids have to see a doctor for help.
While we are ranked among the best children's hospitals in the country, it's our compassionate approach to treatment that makes us truly exceptional. Through a combination of revolutionary treatments and extraordinary patient experiences, our care does more than heal.
