Foreign body extraction (removal of the foreign body).
Avoidance of complications
Therapy recommendations
Prokinetics (medications that stimulate natural bowel movement) should not be administered for sharp or pointed foreign bodies.
For foreign bodies, especially impaction of a food bolus (swallowable morsel), that are stuck in the lower esophagus and not at risk of perforation, glucagon can be administered preendoscopically (0.025-0.1 mg/kg; maximum dose: 1 mg). This causes relaxation (relaxation) of the lower esophageal sphincter (esophageal sphincter) and is thought to cause the foreign body to slide into the stomach.
If the mucosa (lining) of the esophagus (food pipe) has been damaged by the foreign body, gastric acid-blocking medications may be administered postoperatively, a feeding tube placed, and/or food restriction ordered.
