How To Remove A Rolled Up Paper Stuck In The Nose Of A Baby?
Hi my 3 year old daughter stuck a tiny piece of rolled up paper up her nose, I do not see it but she says it is stuck in there. She is not having trouble breathing. Do I need to take her to the ER or can I take her to to the doctor first thing in morning.

Hi...it is an emergency as there is a possibility that it can get sucked into the windpipe. I suggest you take her to the nearest emergency room immediately. They will take it out with the help of a nasal spatula and speculum. It's very simple but do not at any cost attempt at home.
