a 4-year-old boy took out a screw from his nose

Ms. Meng's son is 4 years old, nicknamed Han Han, and he is very handsome and lovely. "Hanhan started snoring more than 1 months ago, and he was breathing with his mouth open all night. Finally, the situation became more and more serious, and even there was apnea during sleep." Ms. Meng said, "When the child falls asleep, he suddenly loses his breath, which is particularly terrible, so I plan to take him to the hospital."

Ms. Meng came to the hospital with Han Han. After carefully inquiring about the medical history and nasal examination, the doctor found that there was purulent nasal discharge on one side of Han Han, and considered that there was a great possibility of "sinusitis" and "adenoid hypertrophy", so he took a "nasopharyngeal lateral position" film.

The results of the film came out, which startled the doctor: there was not only adenoid hyperplasia in the nasopharynx, which blocked the posterior nostril, but also a screw was stuck.

"This nail is stuck in the innermost part of the nose. If it falls off during activities, it is likely to fall into the trachea, causing foreign bodies in the trachea, which is a risk of suffocation. It must be taken out by surgery immediately!" The doctor made a decisive decision and decided to take out the foreign body in the nasal cavity by surgery, and at the same time, to perform low-temperature plasma radiofrequency ablation of the nasopharyngeal adenoids to solve the child's snoring problem.

The doctor found in the operation

During the operation, the nail was crumbling, and it was like a time bomb to Han Han, which was very dangerous. "The nail that was taken out has been unrecognizable, and there is a thick layer of black substance on the outside, which should be the product of the combination of human secretions and rust corrosion, and the length is about 2cm."

snoring in sleep may be a sign of illness

Ms. Meng was also surprised when she saw the nails taken out. When the child stuffed the nail into the nasal cavity, Ms. Meng said that she was not clear; Because Han Han is only 4 years old, she can't accurately express her discomfort, but she often tells Ms. Meng that her nose hurts.

all along, Ms. Meng thought it was rhinitis, and she didn't pay attention to it. It was not until Hanhan's snoring became more and more serious that she took her children to the hospital.

"Children are in the developmental stage of intelligence and behavior, and they are curious about new things, and often stuff foreign bodies into the nasal cavity and ear canal." Huang Pingfang told reporters that over the years, the department has encountered many cases of foreign bodies in children's nasal cavity and ear canal, such as button cell, corn, rubber and various small plastic objects, but the depth of culvert is rare.

She reminded parents that children with foreign bodies in the nasal cavity have unilateral nasal purulent discharge and bad smell similar to sinusitis. In this case, they must go to the hospital in time, and at the same time, they should strengthen the education of young children and not stuff foreign bodies into the nasal cavity and ear canal.

At present, Hanhan is still in hospital. "It is expected that he will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. When he recovers, the situation of sleeping with his mouth open and snoring will be significantly improved." The doctor mentioned that many people think that snoring in sleep is something that adults have, but in fact, some children snore when they sleep. Some parents often think that it is caused by children sleeping too well, but it is not. Children snoring in bed may be a sign of illness.
