Abstract
It is common for ENT specialists to come across foreign bodies in children. Foreign bodies may be seen in the ear canal, nasal interior, pharynx, oesophagus or within the lower respiratory tree (larynx, trachea or bronchi). In an older child, a history of the child putting something in a body cavity is generally forthcoming, but in younger children this may not be the case and the parent or care giver may be anxious about the situation, but unable to supply an informative history. In younger children it pays to be suspicious about the possibility of a foreign body.
