How Can Food Caught In The Nasal Passage Be Removed?
Yesterday I was eating pasta and I don t know how but some part of the food went up to the back of my nose and it s stuck. I tried squirting some water up my nose, I can feel it moving but it won t come out. It s been 24 hours and it s still stuck there. Will it come out by itself or should I see a doctor?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No, it won't come out by itself.
It's already 24 hours. So possibility of granulation tissue formation is high.
So better to consult ENT doctor and get done endoscopic removal of foreign body from nose.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
