Choking occurs when a foreign object gets stuck in the throat or windpipe, blocking the flow of air. In adults, the culprit may be a piece of food. Young children often swallow small objects. Because choking cuts off oxygen to the brain, first aid should be given as quickly as possible.

This is an emergency situation, if not treated promptly, it can lead to serious consequences such as irreversible brain damage, even death.

Choking on foreign objects is a common accident in young children, and the treatment is not too difficult. However, not everyone knows how to give first aid to children. In fact, giving first aid incorrectly can make the condition worse.
