I just received a call from the school, my son inserted a piece of eraser in his nose and it won't come out. What should I do?

If your child has something stuck in their nose, it is important to first assess the severity of the situation. If the object is visible and protruding from the nostril, you may try to remove it with your fingers. However, if you are unsure or if the object is not visible, it is best to seek medical attention to avoid causing further harm. It is important to act quickly if your child is having difficulty breathing or experiencing pain. It is also a good idea to encourage your child to blow their nose gently to try and dislodge the object. Remember to follow proper nasal hygiene techniques as recommended by healthcare professionals.
