Foreign Body
A "Foreign Body" refers to any object or substance that is not naturally found in a specific location within the body. This can include items like coins, toys, or food particles that accidentally enter areas such as the esophagus or lungs. Foreign bodies can cause discomfort, injury, or infection, depending on their size and location.
Medical professionals often need to remove foreign bodies to prevent complications. The removal process may involve various techniques, including endoscopy or surgery. Prompt treatment is essential to minimize potential damage and ensure the safety of the individual affected.
