What to do if a foreign object becomes lodged in your nose?

• Don't push at the object.
• If you can see the object and it can be easily grasped, use the tweezers to remove it.
• Don't try to inhale the object. Breathe gently or breathe through your mouth.
• Gently blow your nose to try to free the object. If only one nostril is affected, close the unaffected nostril and then carefully blow out through the affected one. Don’t blow nose too hard.
• If the previous instructions fail, call for emergency medical assistance (Dial 997) or go to the emergency room.
