Abstract:
Nasal foreign bodies are seen commonly both in the office and pediatric emergency department setting. There have been a number of strategies described for their removal. We describe the "nasal wash" as a technique for nasal foreign body removal in the following three case reports. The "nasal wash" has been used in many pediatric vaccine studies as a method to collect mucus and relies on simple equipment readily available in the office setting.
