AS PARENTS will be well aware, little children often explore the world by crawling around and picking random objects up. <\/p>\n
Sometimes your little explorers will pop things in their mouths or inadvertently get small bits and bobs stuck up their nose.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
There's no need to panic if your tot gets a raisin or toy piece lodged up there, according to medics at Tiny Hearts Education. <\/p>\n
Nor should you stick your finger in your child's nose to try and pick it out. <\/p>\n
Former paramedic Nikki Jurcutz shared a safe and effective technique to remove foreign objects from your little one's schnoz. <\/p>\n
The two-second trick is called the 'Big Kiss' – you don't need any equipment for it. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It involves gently placing your mouth on your child's and blowing a puff off air into it while closing the nostril that's clear. <\/p>\n
The gush of air encourages the object to move by travelling through the nasal passages. <\/p>\n
Nikki shared a video of herself performing the technique on tot who had a raisin stuck in their nose and shared a step-by-step guide in an accompanying post. <\/p>\n
"Knowing how to perform this two second trick could save you a trip to the emergency department," she wrote. <\/p>\n
