help! ds has a piece of walnut up his nose...

[Ready4anotherCoffee]

do I tell him to suffer or go to MIU?

[NorthernLurker]

Don't try to get it out yourself!
I would ring for advice - there is an easy way to get stuff out but I can't remember what it is (helpful I know) Just don't touch it yourself!

[Ready4anotherCoffee]

I haven't! we've tried nose blowing, but he keeps trying to use his finger to move it, he is 4.

he isn't in pain, just uncomfy.

Here's a thread on getting stuff out of kids noses without need for A&E...

finger over unblocked nostril your mouth over his mouth and blow hard.

[Ready4anotherCoffee]

hmm, will attempt this with him in a headlock...

thanks

[NorthernLurker]

That's the method I was thinking of!

DD got a bead up her nose many years ago. Did have to go to A&E in the end, but all sorted very quickly.

ace, just the job.

I was about to threaten him with having the hoover shoved up there

[SheSellsSeashellsByTheSeashore]

my niece did this not long ago and thats what a and e made her do to get it out

[ilovemydog]

they have an array of instruments at hospital for this very purpose!
