A Shocking Discovery After Two Decades


A young man from northern China's Shanxi province had been suffering from persistent sneezing and a runny nose, which led him to seek medical help. Surprisingly, doctors discovered that a dice had been lodged in his nasal cavity for nearly 20 years, a situation he was completely unaware of.


According to reports, the 23-year-old, known as Xiaoma, had been experiencing these symptoms for some time. Initially, doctors suspected he was suffering from allergic rhinitis. However, during an examination, they were astonished to find an unusual object in his nose.


Endoscopic examination revealed the dice stuck in the lower part of his nasal passage, causing damage to the mucous membranes. Xiaoma later recalled that he might have accidentally inserted the dice into his nose while playing as a child, but he couldn't provide detailed information to the doctors.


Removing the dice posed a significant risk, as there was a chance it could fall into the airway during surgery, potentially leading to suffocation. Fortunately, the medical team successfully extracted the dice without complications.


While it remains unclear if this incident has had any lasting effects on Xiaoma's health, the bizarre case has left Chinese social media users in disbelief. In light of this event, doctors have urged parents to be vigilant while their children are playing with small objects.
