Rice grains stuck in the nasal passages can be expelled from the body by exhaling forcefully, or blowing the nose. If such methods are not effective, patients are advised to go to the hospital and seek medical help.
If the patient accidentally inhales a grain of rice during eating, causing it to enter the nasal passages, the patient can breathe through the nose to induce the grain to enter the nasal passages. The patient can breathe through the nose to expel the rice particles. During this process, do not inhale vigorously, as this may cause the rice particles to block the mucous membrane of the respiratory tract and affect breathing. Some patients can also blow their noses vigorously to expel the rice particles from the body.
However, if the above methods do not work for the patient, it is recommended that the patient go to a regular ENT department and seek medical help. The doctor will use a suction device to remove the rice particles under a nasal endoscope.
