description COVID-19 has been impacting a large number of people worldwide. In this lockdown has restricted people to stay at home which is likely to impact their physical and mental health especially children can result in a high prevalence of psychological distress. Long term home isolation has potentially increased the risk of domestic accidents in children like lodgment of foreign bodies in Ear, Nose and Throat. Otolaryngologists are at increased risk of getting the infection due to their direct exposure to the airways of the patient, while removing foreign bodies. Preoperative planning and SARS-CoV2 testing is of particular importance for the pediatric population and if testing cannot be performed, patients in all age groups should be handled as though they are positive for COVID-19, and appropriate precautions should be taken.
