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!

If it is a baby, you place them on your arm, face down and give them five backslaps. You check after each slap to see if the object has dislodged from the mouth.

Silica Gel is non toxic. The reason it is labeled "Do Not Eat" is because it is a choking hazard. If it is eaten, it could become lodged in the throat, in which case an ambulance should be called and the infant taken to the emergency room. If an infant does eat some but is not choking on it, contact the infant's pediatrician for further advice.
Lay the infant down and - firmly but gently - repeatedly press between ribs and bellybutton with two fingers. If an infant is choking seriously on an item, call 911 immediately if you are in the US. While waiting, if you know how, try to dislodge the item from the infant's throat - if visible when the mouth is open. Always check first of all if the infant is breathing and if he/she is able to cry or scream.
If the infant begins to breathe normally, monitor their breathing closely and ensure they are in a safe position. Stay with the infant and be prepared to provide assistance if their breathing changes or if any other emergency signs appear. If you have any concerns about the infant's health, seek medical attention promptly.
