You should use the heimlich manuver. Stand behind the patient, wrap your arms around their mid-section and grasp your other hand. Make a fist with one hand and grasp it with the other, placing your thumbknuckle in. Pull up and in briskly from about their navel. Do this repeatedly until the object is expelled. If it isn't and they pass out, guide them to the floor and put them on their back. Straddle the patient at the hips, making a fist with one hand and grasping it with the other, place them just above the navel and push briskly with force, up and in. Do it three times then stop and look in their mouth for the object. Remove it if you find it. if you don't, keep it up. Of coarse, you should have called for or had someone else call for an ambulance when you started.

What should you do for conscious infant who is choking and cannot cough cry or breathe?
turn the infant tummy side down over your thigh while supporting the head w/your hand & deliver five firm, open-handed "slaps" between the infants shoulder blades to dislodge whatever is obstructing their airway. AND FOR GOD'S SAKE CALL 911!

How to resolve chokingFirst, try to breathe or swallow, then maybe say a few words If you can still breathe normally, swallow, and/or talk, you are probably choking but not completely. Don't be afraid if you aren't fully choking and can still breathe and talk, if this happens, drink as much water if you can find any in large swallows or swallow your saliva. Your throat will probably be very sore, but keep drinking and waiting, the food should either slip through or dissolve in a few minutes. If the object is bigger than an inch in diameter and is not food or is not dissolvable, seek help by showing your hands on your throat and alerting people with hand gestures. If you are aware that you can't talk and are fully choking, get help, if there is no people around or near, try doing chest thump's on yourself by putting your hands in a fist position and your thumb onto your stomach just above the bellybutton.Another thing you can do is lean forward on a chair and let your weight fall towards the chair and push down on the chair.
