Have someone call 911. Look to see if there is something obstructing the child's mouth or throat. Use the Heimlich maneuver to dislodge any obstruction, if that is suspected by the circumstances. If there is an Asthma or allergy history have someone get any medications that you have on hand to be used in those emergencies.

Immediately call 911, or if you can, have someone else call them. If you need help in how to resuscitate, they will guide you through the steps. Try to calmly answer their questions to get the ambulance on its way, and follow their directions. You can trust them and rely on them to tell you exactly what to do. Do not try to drive the child to the hospital, care will be provided faster by the emergency response team, and you and other drivers will be safer on the roads. You will also be needed to follow all the instructions of the 911 operator at that time instead of trying to drive.

Get training in CPR and First Aid before you are faced with this problem. It will be easier for you to stay calm and work with 911 while you are awaiting the arrival of the first responders.
