You're sitting with your friend in the lunchroom and she chokes on a piece of candy. What is the best way to help her?
The first thing to do is pick up with fingers foods that might be stuck in the back of the throat.
If nothing happens and the air seems not to move, call emergencies quickly (or ask someone to do it) and perform the Heimlich method while waiting for rescue.
- If you're not comfortable, you can try to hit repeatedly and vigorously in his back between his shoulder blades. Sometimes this is enough to dislodge the jammed candy.
