One of mine had to go to the doctor to have a bead removed from his nose.

Oh no - that's awful!
I don't know what's involed in extracting the offending item, but I'm sure it must be relatively simple, they must see lots of such 'accidents' in the hospital.

One of my boys once managed to get a bead wedged up his nose. We called Hatzolo who came and said there was nothing he could do, we should take him to Emergency. Whilst my son was waiting for my husband to find his car keys, he SNEEZED really hard and out popped the bead!

My son stuck a pea up hos nose a few months ago - I got it out fairly easily. A friend came over once with her 3 year old who had stuck a pea up his nose - as far as I remember he sneezed it out
Once in the ER I had to remove a safety pin that a 2 yr old had stuck up her nose - not fun!
I also remember having to remove a bead from a child's ear once.

Thanks! I needed to hear that. Laughing

On the wall of one pediatric department was a frame box with about a dozen items in it that had been extracted from children.

my 4 year old niece stuck a cooked macaroni up her nose, and no one could get it out they had to go to the ER. The dr at the hospital said he just finished with a kid who stuck a pearl in his ear.

Even nuttier my cousin was up in middle of the night playing with lego and she shoved one up her nose and went to her parent s crying it was so bad they had to have it surgically removed.

Forget little ones. I remember in elementary school, must have been 2nd or 3rd grade,a girl put glue on 2 qtips & stuck them up her nose!!

Was it superglue?

My DS stuck a pebble in DH'S ear (!!) when they were at the playground. After a few minutes of nerve-wracking anxiety, I managed to pull it out with a tweezers. Not fun Confused

my brother had a shirt button stuck in is ear and was too scared to tell anyone for a while
my other brother ate coins on more than one occassion and suffered no ill effects
