Foreign Bodies

Foreign bodies in the ear, nose, or throat can cause discomfort, pain, or breathing issues, particularly in children, and require prompt removal to prevent complications. Safe, expert care restores comfort and health. At ENT Central in Palmerston North, Dr. Naveed Basheeth provides specialized treatment for foreign body removal.

What Are Foreign Bodies?

Foreign bodies are objects unintentionally lodged in the ear, nose, or throat, such as small toys, beads, or food particles, often occurring in children or through accidental incidents. These can lead to pain, infections, or breathing difficulties. Dr. Naveed Basheeth employs sophisticated diagnostic techniques, including endoscopic visualization and microsuction, to precisely identify and safely extract these objects, delivering rapid relief and preventing complications with tailored care.

How Is Foreign Body Removal Different From Other ENT Services?

Foreign body removal is distinctly focused on extracting objects obstructing the ear, nose, or throat, setting it apart from ENT specialties addressing chronic conditions like allergies or tonsillitis. It utilizes specialized tools, such as high-resolution otoscopes, endoscopes, or precision forceps, to achieve safe, immediate extraction. This urgent, targeted intervention prevents complications like infections or tissue damage, ensuring swift restoration of normal function with minimal invasiveness.

Does Recovery After Foreign Body Removal Take Long?

Recovery from foreign body removal is typically immediate for non-invasive procedures, with minor soreness or irritation subsiding within hours to a day. In complex cases requiring sedation or minor surgical intervention, most patients resume normal activities within 1–2 days, supported by Dr. Basheeth’s customized aftercare plans, which ensure a rapid, comfortable recovery and prevent future complications.
