    Foreign bodies are objects that become lodged in areas of the body where they do not belong. Young children between ages 1-5 are most at risk, especially during holidays when toys and small objects are more accessible. Common foreign bodies found in airways include small, hard objects like beads, nuts, and buttons. Foreign objects can be animate like insects or inanimate like vegetables, minerals, or post-surgical materials. Choking is a universal medical emergency for any lodged foreign body.
