In medical terms, a foreign object is something that is in the body but doesn't belong there. Foreign objects may be inserted into the body accidentally or intentionally. They are also sometimes swallowed. They can become lodged or stuck in various parts of the body, such as the ears, nose, eyes, and airways.
A soft tissue foreign body is an object that is stuck under your skin. Examples of foreign bodies include wood splinters, thorns, slivers of metal or glass, and gravel.
Use tweezers cleaned with rubbing alcohol to remove the object. Use a magnifying glass to help you see better. If the object is under the surface of the skin, sterilize a clean, sharp needle by wiping it with rubbing alcohol. Use the needle to gently break the skin over the object and lift up the tip of the object.
A foreign body is something that is stuck inside you but isn't supposed to be there. You may inhale or swallow a foreign body, or you may get one from an injury to almost any part of your body. Foreign bodies are more common in small children, who sometimes stick things in their mouths, ears, and noses.
The sensation that something is in the eye commonly brings people to the ophthalmologist. This is referred to as a "foreign body sensation", as if a foreign object were scratching the eye. Usually this sensation originates from the cornea, which is the clear part of the eye through which we see.
A foreign object in the ear can be anything in the ear canal (the tube that leads from the eardrum to the outside) that normally would not be there. A person may put something into the ear on purpose (such as a cotton swab), or by accident (for example, a small earring).
Foreign bodies in the esophagus (swallowing tube) Coins are the most common foreign body in children that require removal from the esophagus. When food is swallowed it typically passes through the mouth to the throat and into the esophagus, which leads to the stomach.
