Hello, dear Doctor! A half of a q tip stuck in the nostril of my husband, he tried to get it out with another q tip and pushed it further. When I came, I tried to pull it out by suction using a rubber bulb, but the piece is not even visible. Then we tried to wash it out by using a neti pot: the water runs freely in and out both nostrils. Now he feels something is bothering him on the opposite side of his throat, beneath his righ ear. Could it be that the q tip is stuck there now? Because he does not feel any disturbance in his nose anymore. Could he have swollowed it? Is it dangerous to swallow a half of a q tip? Thank you very much. Antonina
