When he arrived at the clinic, the boy was in great pain and people could see small movement inside the nostril.

In a video that went viral, a doctor is seen using tweezers to slowly remove the mucus-covered fish from the boy’s nostril as his head is being held still.

While the video makes it seem like the fish was removed quickly, the procedure actually took approximately 30 minutes.
