Does anyone know how to get a pea out of a toddlers nose?!

Can anyone help? DD (21 months) has stuck a pea up her nose. It is really high up - I can only just see it.

It's too high to get with tweezers. I made her sniff some pepper and she sneezed a lot but it didn't come down any further.

She is in bed now but very restless. I hope it will be ok up there overnight. Has anyone any ideas?

"when giving a baby/toddler mouth to mouth and said you could burst their lungs"

With mouth to mouth, you block off the whole nose so all the air goes into the lungs.With this, the pea filled nostril is open and the air coming in goes out of there, bringing the pea with it hopefully!

I've done the parent's kiss to my DD (3.6 at the time), when she stuck a bead up her nostrill. I remember reading about it here before and performed it. It worked! it came flying out

You block free nostril and cover child's mouth and blow into it , THIS forces object out , and it works hope this helps other parwnts
