A video detailing this unusual story was shared in September and has garnered numerous comments and shares.
Back in the 1990s, when he was just six years old, he accidentally inserted a Lego man piece into his nose. After realizing he couldn’t get it out on his own, he panicked, leading his mother to use tweezers to try and extract it.
They believed their nasal passages were clear, unaware that a foreign object was lodged inside the man’s nose. The 32-year-old shared on an Instagram video that he had been experiencing breathing difficulties due to the obstruction in his airway.
The way the object was finally removed is quite intriguing. His doctor had recommended that he blow his nose while showering, and it was during this attempt that the piece dislodged.
“I was in the shower. And my doctor has told me, with the dry, hot summer months, it’s really helpful to blow your nose while you’re in the shower because of the humidity of the steam and everything, and today I blew my nose, and low and behold a Lego shot out. I can breathe out of this side of my nose now, and it’s fantastic. I haven’t been able to do that since I was a child,” he said.
He has dealt with various health issues since childhood, but no one suspected that the object in his nose was the source of his problems.
In addition to breathing issues, he also struggled with chronic conditions like sleep apnea during his younger years.
Many Instagram users shared their thoughts on the situation. One user mentioned that just thinking about the incident gives him a stuffy nose, but he was relieved that the piece was finally removed. Another user recounted a similar experience with his son, who had a Lego piece stuck in his nose, but doctors were eventually able to extract it.
