A small object lodged in the nose of a child can potentially cause what?

• A. Airway obstruction.
• B. Improved breathing.
• C. Nasal discharge stops.
• D. Prevents infection.

Answer: (A)

When a small object gets stuck in a child’s nose, it can block the nasal passage and impede airflow. The nose is part of the airway, so any blockage there can make breathing through the nose harder, especially in a young child with small airways. If swelling or irritation develops, breathing can become more labored, and in some cases the obstruction can contribute to reduced overall airway flow. The other statements don’t fit: the object wouldn’t improve breathing, it often causes ongoing nasal discharge or irritation rather than stopping it, and it can increase the risk of infection rather than prevent it.
