When dealing with a choking casualty, basically do your best to give back blows or abdominal thrusts this could be maybe asking them to get down on their knees. and preforming choking instructions on the floor.
Remember get a first aid course before doing any first aid, reading the first aid manual does not make you a "first aider".
