Abstract

 Foreign­body aspiration is commonly seen in infants and toddlers. Older children are less likely to aspirate a foreign body due to well­developed oro­pharyngeal reflexes. Our case a 6 year old female child presented with history of cough, fever and hemoptysis. History of aspiration of a plastic whistle was present but chest radiograms were not confirmatory. Due to a high index of suspicion, bronchoscopy was done. A cylindrical plastic whistle was removed. Thus underscoring the importance of history in determining bronchoscopy in suspected cases of foreign­body aspiration. 

Keywords: Foreign Body; Whistle; Virtual Bronchoscopy; Rigid Bronchoscopy.
