Patient's question:
My child is four years old. On September 22nd, after a thorough examination revealed a nasal foreign body, they underwent surgery. A button battery was removed. Up to now, they occasionally blow their nose with pus and blood. How should this situation be resolved?Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to help you clarify this. Button batteries have strong corrosive properties, which may have damaged the nasal septum or nasal mucosa, leading to suppuration. Currently, it is recommended to take the child to the hospital for a follow-up examination. The above advice is for the question "My four-year-old child had surgery after being found with a nasal foreign body, but occasionally blows their nose now. What should I do?" I hope it is helpful to you. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
