There has been an accident in the neighborhood, a small kid swallowed a toy and started to choke. No one noticed it at first, they took him to the doctor when he turned blue and it was all because of a toy car, small enough not to cause a complete choking, but big enough to cause serious problems. What can you tell me about first aid if a child is choking?

Kids in young age tend to put objects into the mouth so you have to take extra care and watch the kids as much as possible. There are two basic methods if choking happens; one is for the babies, up to a year and a half, maybe even two years. The procedure is simple; you just take the child by a leg and turn him upside down. The other is for older kids, where you hug the kid from behind and try to push out the object by applying pressure on the kid’s diaphragm.
