How to deal with a two-year-old baby sucking green beans into their nose

Patient's question:

A two-year-old baby has inhaled green beans into their nose. Just now, it was still visible, but the baby was crying and wouldn't let it be removed. Later, it disappeared, and the baby did not show any signs of breathing difficulties, coughing, or holding their breath. Should they go to the hospital to resolve this?

Doctor's answer:

According to the situation you described, if you haven't personally witnessed the beans coming out of the nose, it is essential to go to the hospital for a follow-up examination promptly. Even if there is no recurrence of breathing difficulties, it is necessary to go to the hospital for an X-ray to conduct a thorough check. If an object is found, it is crucial to go to the hospital for a follow-up examination and remove the object as soon as possible. It is recommended that you take your baby to the otolaryngology department of the hospital to have the object removed early, and be more careful next time, pay attention to your body.
