Patients who received antibiotics prior to referral had longer overall disease durations than patients who did not. Grass seeds were more likely to be removed if they were surrounded by a fluid pocket on ultrasonography. However, no direct link was identified between the recent use of antibiotics and the presence or absence of a fluid pocket on ultrasonography.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Limitations<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study is limited by its small sample size and retrospective nature.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study suggests that where a GSFB is suspected but not identified in first\u2010opinion practice, prompt referral for focal ultrasonography will contribute to faster diagnosis and retrieval than symptomatic treatment.
