The doctors she asked for help told her that it was probably due to a chronic sinus condition. She told Stuff she had"quite a lot going on in my life, so I pushed it into the background."
But it started to become unbearable and she was forced to go to the emergency department at Christchurch Hospital, where"luckily the nurse and doctor believed it was more than sinus pain." "They asked me if I had ever put anything up my nose," she said, a question which spurred her to cast her mind back to her childhood.. The game invented in the U.K. and patented in 1888, sees players try to propel small discs, called"winks" into a pot, using another disc called a"squidger."
A doctor with a stethoscope is shown in this illustrative image. A woman in New Zealand found she had a plastic disc from a game of Tiddlywinks lodged in her nose for nearly four decades.She remembered how while playing with her siblings, they improvised the game a little by putting one piece up each nostril and blowing them out.
"One time I accidentally inhaled one instead of blowing it out," she said,"I remember being terrified at the time, thinking 'where it has gone'."She soon forgot about the incident, although she said she always had problems breathing through her nose"but never gave it much thought."Too big to remove while conscious, the object was taken out during an operation where it was pushed through her nose and out her mouth.
