Clinical spectrum of ear, nose and throat foreign bodies at a tertiary hospital: a cross-sectional study.

FBs were encountered more commonly in children aged younger than 10 years. The nose was the commonly affected anatomical site followed by the ear, pharynx and oesophagus. The commonest FB was a coin. The inorganic FB type predominated and the most common inorganic type was a coin while the commonest organic type was a seed. Complications were encountered in those who presented between 24 and 72 h post FB lodgment.
