5-Year-Old Finds Reason For 6-Month-Long Runny Nose

A 5-year-old who suffered a mysterious runny nose for six months has finally been relieved of the problem.

What was the cause? A 1.5-inch-long safety pin.

Three different doctors thought she had a sinus infection and prescribed antibiotics.

"About six months ago, her nose just started [running] out of this one side. Green, green, green constantly and it stunk," Powell told KABC-TV.

"My brother was like, 'Your nose, it's disgusting. Blow your nose, blow your nose.' And she blows it and out comes the safety pin," Powell said.

The pin, measuring about 1.5 inches long, was black and partially disintegrated.

"We were horrified. I was like, 'Did you put this up there?' She did, but she forgot to tell me."

"She found a safety pin and being a kid wanted to stick it up there to see how far it would go and thought she dropped it not realizing it had lodged itself in her nose...My daughter didn't mention anything because she didn't realize it had gone into her nose," Powell wrote in the comments to this UPI story.

Powell says Khloe is feeling much better since the pin came out of her nose.
