Candy in her NOSE… Three Ways to Solve

Three ways to get candy out your child's noseOh boy, I haven’t been through this in awhile? Candy in the nose, my dear Yissie this time. It’s been a good 12 years since I dealt with a young one putting candy in their nose. Yup, Renae did this as well when she was the same age. The other kids lacked the desire to have a piece of bright burning candy in their nose. It has to burn.

Well this piece of candy wasn’t too big, she was able to blow her nose and it came out! But what if it didn’t come out… What do you do? Well, I can tell you what you don’t do first! Don’t stick anything in your child’s nose in hopes to get it out; you may push it in further.

Three ways to get foreign objects out of a child’s nose:

  1. Have your child blow their nose by plugging the nostril that doesn’t have an object in it and have your child blow.
  2. Help your child sneeze, again if you can plug the nostril that doesn’t have an object in it. How do you help your child sneeze? Smell a bit of pepper, not sniff, SMELL!
  3. If all else fails, knowing some kids are too young to cooperate, you can cover your child’s mouth and the unaffected nostril, quickly blow (not too much pressure) into your child’s mouth, this is quite effective but is noted best done by a medical professional because spreading infection or blowing too hard can cause complications.

If these tips didn’t work, take your lil’ one to the doctor or call a medical professional. I hope these tips save you a trip to the hospital and another medical bill.
