Abstract

Foreign body ingestion in children less than 1 year of age was found to be rare. Here we retrospectively analyzed the foreign body (FB) ingestion in children in less than one year with reporting of two rare cases in the era of COVID-19. Most of the FB ingestion can be managed conservatively, only few required interventions. When intervention required use proper personal protective equipment kit.
