New Zealand Boy Found Lego Piece Stuck in Nose After It Was Lost Two Years Ago

New Zealand Herald reported that a seven-year-old boy named Sameer Anwar found a Lego piece stuck in his nose. The Dunedin boy said that this piece had been missing for two years already. 

Found nothing in 2018

Sameer's father, Anwar, told the outlet that one day, his son told them that he had slipped a tiny piece of Lego into his nose. They did their best to take it out, but they found nothing. The concerned parents took the little boy to the doctor to have it removed. However, the doctor did not find anything, either. 

The doctor then advised the parents that if ever there was a piece of Lego stuck in their son's nose, it would move through his digestive tract naturally. Anwar told the outlet that his son did not feel any discomfort because he did not complain or say anything.

Discomfort led to the finding of the missing Lego

Two years after the incident, Sameer took a giant sniff of a cupcake and felt pain in his nose. He told his parents of the discomfort that he felt and thought that he just sniffed cupcake crumbs up his nose. The Herald reported that the little boy's mom helped him blow his nose to clear his nostrils. 

Anwar told the outlet that the one piece that was missing for the last two years came out. They were shocked by what they saw. The Lego piece had a bit of fungus in it.

Anwar said that Sameer's eyes were wide open in shock and exclaimed that he found the Lego. The little boy even blamed his mom for telling him that the missing piece was not there, but now they are witnessing everything. 

Anwar joked to his wife that they should donate the Lego piece to a museum as they talked about what to do with the missing piece that had finally been found.

The Guardian reported that what happened in 2018 was not the first time that Sameer had put something inside his nose. It said that when the boy was just three years old, he pushed an imitation pear up his nose. Thankfully, his dad was able to retrieve it safely and did not have to wait for two years to find it. 

First aid for a foreign body in the nose

Having a foreign body up in the nose could cause choking or difficulty breathing. To remove the object, you could have the person breathe through his mouth or use tweezers to remove a partially inserted item. 

For an object that is deeper into the nose, pinch the clear side of the nose and then blow through the other nose hard often. It could help dislodge the object. If bleeding occurs, put a cold pack on the nose or cheek.
