In your village you may have seen someone choking before – perhaps a child or an adult. Were you able to help them? This is what you should do:
A child is choking and comes to you coughing and screaming. Which technique would you use first and why?
You should first try backslaps and encourage coughing. This is the first step for someone who is choking but who can breath, speak and cough. In this case, the child's coughing and screaming indicates that the blockage is partial because they can still breathe.
