Not Me Monday

I'm not completely sure how this game goes, but I thought this Monday's email might fit in well. This is NOT a true email exchange between me and our pediatrician today.

MDSubject: Ryan's nose-This message is being sent by Rita on behalf of Ryan.
Hi Dr. , While at a school fiesta on Friday, at the "Find it in the Frijoles" game, Ryan managed to stick two uncooked pinto beans up his right nostril. They came out quite easily, no trauma, no bleeding. He seems his usual self. However, I have the slight thought that he may have shoved a third in there and it may be really far back. He does not complain of pain, but if i ask him about it he says "ow" and points to the inside roof of his mouth. Any advice on what to do?

If Ryan seems to be able to breath normally out of the right nostril and there is no discharge that has developed from that nostril, then I doubt that there is another bean in his nose. If he starts developing discharge from that nostril (ususally green and smelly) or cannot breath out of that side of the nose then make an appointment for him to be seen so that we can take a look and see if there is another bean in the nose.
