A young child in Turkey required medical attention after a metal screw became lodged deep within their ear canal, according to reports. Doctors successfully removed the object in a procedure that avoided damage to the child’s eardrum.
SCREW REMOVED FROM EAR
The child sought treatment due to persistent and severe ear pain. An endoscopic examination revealed the presence of the screw, which was then carefully extracted by medical staff. Experts noted that the preservation of the eardrum was fortunate.
Authorities are reminding parents that young children often explore with small objects, and may attempt to insert them into their ears or noses. In such cases, officials advise against attempting removal at home, and recommend seeking immediate professional medical assistance.
