My daughter stuck an object in her ear at around age 4.5.. It was an arts and crafts googly eye. Try telling all the health staff " I have an eye in my ear"... the confusion abounds. It was round and slick and they needed a tool like a long straw with a little balloon at the end, and we went from the emerg. clinic to emergency at the hospital for the right tool.
There was a 6 hour wait at the emergency department after a 2 hour wait at the clinic, of course.
She got a purple freezie at the end of it.
So the next week she did it again. For a freezie. ARGH!!!
