First Aid Beauty FAB Essentials Kit ($21 Value) FAB Essentials Kit

Choking  may happen during or after a meal. One may choke on food that wasn’t properly chewed or hurriedly swallowed.

• Call you in house first aider.
• In the absence of one, call the ambulance.
• If the victim is still unable to cough, bend him/her forward (about 45°) while supporting at the waist with your forearm.
• Place your hand flat between the shoulder blades and give five slaps.
• If he/she is still choking, stand at his/her back, make a fist with the thumb one against the abdomen (just below the ribcage).
• Grasp the fist with the other hand and pull sharply inwards and upwards.
• This should clear the obstruction. But, if not continue till the ambulance comes.
