Youthful children are prone to choking. If the child is coughing and gagging but can breathe and talk, don’t do anything. But if he can’t breathe, you must act quickly to stop a life-threatening situation.
Press the chest!
- Place the kid on a firm surface, which may still be your forearm.
- Put two or three fingers in the center of the child’s breastbone and push quickly up to five times.
- Repeat the back thumping and chest pushes until the object comes out or the child loses consciousness.
- If the child is still not breathing, open the airway by putting your thumb in the child’s mouthand grasping the lower incisors or gums. The jaw should lift up so you can look for the object.
- Do not try to pull the object out unless you see it clearly. You could accidentally push the object deeper in the child’s throat.
