CALL 911 IF THE PERSON:
Is choking
Has difficulty breathing
For choking, see Choking Treatment.
1. Remove Object, if Possible
Have the person breathe through his or her mouth.
For adult with an object partially out of the nose, try to remove it with fingers or tweezers. Do not push it further into the nose.
For an object deeper in the nose, pinch the clear side of the nose closed. Have the person blow his or her nose hard several times. This may dislodge the object.
Do not try to grab or pull an object that is stuck up a child’s nose. You can try gently closing the unaffected nostril. Blow a puff of air into the child's mouth. Repeat as necessary.
If minor bleeding occurs after object removal, firmly pinch the nose shut for 10 minutes. You can also put a cold pack on the nose or cheeks for bleeding.
