Abstract Foreign body aspiration in children is a medical emergency that is associated with significant morbidity and requires medical intervention. The variability of clinical presentations results in delayed diagnosis and treatment. Hence, a high index of clinical suspicion and a thorough examination is needed to expedite the management. We report the case of a toddler girl who aspirated a piece of peanut and was diagnosed as having bronchopneumonia upon presentation with respiratory symptoms for six days. Rigid bronchoscopy was performed and the foreign body was removed successfully without any complications. We aim to highlight the importance of considering the diagnosis of airway foreign body in children with unexplained respiratory distress in our case study.
