Introduction: The soft palate corresponds to about one third of the posterior portion of the palate, it is composed of glands of mucous and salivary secretion. It has only muscle fibers and aids in speech and swallowing. During development, children go through the oral phase, in which their first contact with the outside world is by placing objects in their mouths. Objectives: To report the case of an infant who ingested the tomato paste packaging lid and it stuck to the soft palate, causing infection, and to highlight the importance of frequent evaluation of the child's oral cavity. Resumed report: Male patient, 1 year and 2 months old, accompanied by his mother, sought hospital due to suspected seizure and momentary loss of consciousness after the mother had left the child alone in a bathtub with water. After neurological screening and imaging tests were all normal, he was discharged from the neurology department. During oroscopy, a foreign body was observed firmly adhered to the soft palate with presence of granuloma, hyperemia and purulent secretion in adjacent skin. The mother reports that she had not noticed the object. Antibiotic therapy was started and the object was manually removed in the operating room. Conclusion: Infants get to know the world by bringing objects to their mouths. Thus, it is important to carry out frequent evaluation of children's oral cavity and to perform a thorough otorhinolaryngological examination, avoiding bronchoaspiration and palatal perforation.
