Foreign body

A foreign body is something that doesn't belong inside our body. Our body is like a house where we live, and a foreign body is like an object that doesn't belong in our house. For example, if we accidentally swallow a small toy, that toy becomes a foreign body in our body. It's important to remove foreign bodies from our body because they can cause harm or make us sick.

Sometimes, a foreign body can come into our body through our skin, nose, or mouth. We can accidentally inhale small objects like beads or buttons, or they can get stuck in our ears, nose, or throat. When a foreign body is inside our body, it can cause pain, discomfort, irritation, or even blockage.

To remove a foreign body, doctors use different methods depending on where it is located. For example, if the foreign body is in our ear or nose, the doctor may use a special tool to remove it. If it's in our stomach, the doctor may give us medicine to help it pass through our system. If it's stuck in our throat or airway, the doctor may use a scope to see and remove it.

In summary, a foreign body is something that doesn't belong in our body and can cause harm or sickness. Doctors use different methods to remove them depending on where they are located.
