What is choking
1 answer
Choking is a condition in which the airway is blocked, restricting airflow to the lungs. This can be caused by food, small objects, or other materials becoming lodged in the throat. Choking can be a life-threatening emergency and requires immediate treatment to clear the obstruction and restore airflow. Symptoms of choking include difficulty breathing, coughing, wheezing, and a feeling of being unable to speak or breathe. It is important to know how to perform the Heimlich maneuver or other first aid techniques to help a choking victim.
