Foreign body removal is a procedure to take out objects that shouldn’t be in your body. These objects could be anything from a small toy to a piece of food that’s stuck in your throat or airway.

The procedure is usually done by a doctor or specialist, who will use special tools or instruments to safely remove the object.

Depending on where the object is located and how big it is, the removal process may vary. For example, if it’s in your throat, the doctor might use long, thin tools to gently pull it out.
