16 Removing foreign objects from ears and noses costs England almost 3 million pounds a year, a study suggests. Children were responsible for the vast majority of cases — 95% of objects removed from noses and 85% from ears.
Every year, an average of 1,218 nose and 2,479 ear removals took place between 2010 and 2016. According to England's Hospital Episode Statistics, 17 children aged one to four were the most likely to need help from doctors for a foreign object in their nose. Five- to nine-year-olds come to the hospital with something in their ears the most.
Jewelry items accounted for up to 40% of cases in both the ears and noses of children. Paper and plastic toys were the items removed next most from noses. Cotton buds and pencils were also found in ears. 18 According to the study, the occurrence of foreign objects in children is generally attributed to curiosity.
Children have an impulse to explore their noses and ears. This results in the accidental entry of foreign objects. Any ear, nose and throat surgeon has many weird stories about wonderful objects found in the noses and ears of children and adults. Batteries can pose a particular danger. In all cases, prevention is better than cure. This is why many toys contain warnings about small parts. Recognizing problems early and seeking medical attention is important.
16 一项研究表明，从耳朵和鼻子里移除异物每年要花费英国近300万英镑。绝大多数都是儿童病例，95%的异物是从鼻子里移除，而85%的异物是从耳朵中移除的。
从2010年到2016年，每年平均有1218个异物从鼻子中移除，有2479个异物从耳朵里移除。根据英国医院病例统计， 17 1到4岁的儿童，最有可能因为鼻子里有异物而需要得到医生的帮助。5到9岁的儿童因为耳朵中有异物而来医院的情况最多。
在这些病例中，珠宝类物品出现在孩子的耳朵和鼻子中所占的比例高达40%。纸和塑料玩具是从鼻子里移除的异物中第二多的。棉签和铅笔也在耳朵中被发现过。 18 根据这项研究，儿童体内出现异物通常归因于好奇。
孩子们有探索自己鼻子和耳朵的冲动。这就导致了异物的意外进入。任何耳鼻喉外科医生都有许多关于在儿童和成年人的鼻子和耳朵里发现奇妙物品的奇怪故事。电池会造成特别的危险。在所有情况下，预防胜于治疗。这就是为什么许多玩具包装盒上面都有关于小部件的警告。及早发现问题并寻求医疗帮助很重要。
