🔹Fixation by nasal pack and external splint
Nasal foreign bodies can cause damage to the nasal cavity and the surrounding and Ash forceps
structures. They can produce local inflammation which may result in pressure
necrosis. This in turn can cause mucosal ulceration and erosion into blood vessels
🔹
producing epistaxis.
The swelling can cause obstruction to sinus drainage and lead to secondary

sinusitis.
Firmly impacted and unrecognized foreign bodies can in time become coated

with calcium,magnesium,phosphate or carbonate and become a rhinolith.
