A Case of the Removal of a Foreign Body From the Hard Palate With the Aid of Nebulized Lidocaine

Abstract

Although foreign bodies are common chief complaints in pediatrics, foreign bodies in the hard palate are rarely the cause of the patient’s complaint. We present the case of a three-year-old with a foreign body retained in the hard palate that we removed with the aid of nebulized lidocaine.
