HardPaediatricsInhaled Foreign Bodymrcem sbaukmlapane

The child had a choking episode an hour ago, followed by coughing, but now seems relatively comfortable with mild wheezing on auscultation of the right chest. Chest X-ray shows hyperinflation of the right lung. What is the definitive management?
