In a shocking incident, a fish was removed alive from the nostril of a boy after a 3-hour-long surgery by the doctors. Interestingly, the fish was alive until it was removed. The fish entered when the boy was taking bathe in a farm well. The strange incident took place in the Pudukkottai district in Tamil Nadu.
According to sources, S Arul Kumar (12) of Mannavelampatti near Annavasal in Pudukkottai went for a bath along with his friends in a farm well near his house on Tuesday evening. Arul then sensed that something had entered his nose, and soon developed severe pain.

He was then rushed to the Annavasal GH around 10 pm and the duty doctor, Kathiravan, who checked the boy’s nostrils, confirmed a fish being stuck inside Arul’s nose.
After a three-hour-long ‘operation’ the doctor removed a live ‘tilapia’ fish from the boy’s nose, but it died soon after. The doctor observed that the trapped fish could have even caused a threat to Arul’s life.
The boy after an hour’s medical observation was sent back home.
