First Aid Training (2020 Guidelines) from ProTrainings - Conscious Child Choking

If a child is choking and conscious, signs include looking panicked, blue color around the lips, and the inability to talk, cough, or breathe. The child may do the universal choking sign with hands around their throat. Ask if the child needs help. Get to the level of the child by kneeling or sitting, and raise their elbows. Place one hand with thumb tucked in against the abdomen, above the belly button, and grab your fist with the other hand. Perform abdominal thrusts until the object is clear or the child becomes unconscious.
