When a person is choking and coughing, it typically indicates that an object or food has partially obstructed their airway. Coughing is a natural reflex that attempts to expel the obstruction and clear the airway. If the obstruction is severe and the person cannot cough effectively, it can lead to a complete blockage, preventing airflow and requiring immediate intervention, such as the Heimlich maneuver, to dislodge the item.
