If the person is choking and coughing, continue to encourage them to cough. Tell someone to call 911 (emergency services - the number is different for different parts of the world), or call 911 yourself if you are alone with the choking person.

Watch for the inablilty to talk; difficulty breathing or noisy breathing; lips, skin or nails turning blue or dusky; inability to cough forcefully; loss of consciousness.

If you see any of the above signs, then give 5 back blows followed by 5 abdominal thrusts. Continue with the back blows and abdominal thrusts until the object is dislodged.

If the person becomes unconscious or stops breathing, give CPR.

What are the different kinds of coughs and how can they be distinguished from each other?

There are two main types of coughs: dry coughs and productive coughs. Dry coughs are usually caused by irritation or inflammation in the throat and do not produce mucus. Productive coughs, on the other hand, produce mucus or phlegm and are often associated with respiratory infections like colds or bronchitis. Dry coughs are typically more frequent and persistent, while productive coughs may be accompanied by other symptoms like chest congestion. By paying attention to the presence of mucus and other accompanying symptoms, you can distinguish between the two types of coughs.
