The best action to relieve severe choking in a responsive infant is to begin five cycles of abdominal thrusts. Use five cycles of back slaps along with the abdominal thrusts.If the object the child is choking on can be seen, attempt to remove it. Do not poke at the object blindly because the object could be shoved farther down the child's throat. If the child is coughing, let them cough it out. If coughing is ineffective, support the child in head-downwards position without compressing the soft tissues under the jaw. Administer one to five sharp blows in-between the child's shoulder blades (or middle of its back) with the heel of one hand. If the child is not choking on any object, it could be suffering an allergic reaction; seek medical attention immediately.
