In This series, I would like to share some information which I think is very necessary to know. For example, today I want to come up with choke/choking. Yes, a lot of people from kid to adult face this sort of problem.
Generally, it's happened when we take food/ drink any liquid (water or any kind of drinks, hot or cold) in a hurry. But, it's also happened if someone eats food /drink something unconsciously. Moreover, it may happen when a person eats food or anything else in the state of being tensed. I mean, if a person feels tense for any reason, the percentage of being choked will be more (this is my personal observation). And, which I must include here, kids may get choked for some other reasons (including these). They are, kids may gulp some unwanted objects which may be their tiny toys or what ever they get near of their hands. So, parents and the personnel who take care of the kids must have some knowledge in this context.
now, what we should do if someone starts choking:
1. We should take this sort of problem seriously. We should not ignore it.
2. If we find a person in this state, we should give them some blows (generally blows work a lot).
3. But, before giving blows we should know where we have to give blows, It is said, the place between two shoulders is the best place.
4. Somebody suggest, if blowing in between two shoulders does not work out, then, blows should be given just opposite of our stomach.
5. Actually, I think, in the state of get choked, people need some wobbles to get down the food in the proper way/ get out the food or drink.
6. remember, sometime, we may get food inside our air tube which is very dangerous.
7. If food or drink gets into air tube instead of food tube, how we can solve this problem, have you any idea? I have a little!
Anyway let me share one situation. One day I was chatting with one of my colleagues at my work place during lunch time. When we were laughing, my colleague tried to eat some horlics without water. And, it went in to her air-tube. I thought she got food into her food tube and it stuck over there so she got choked. But, I was totally wrong as she had some horlics in her air-tube. I gave her some blows, offered water but she denied. I became puzzled. Then, she suddenly hold her nose and finally being able to take breath. After that, she told, she could not take breath and when she hold her nose, the horlics got out.
Please remember, here I have shared my personal observations. I may have wrong idea so, please share your views.

Such situations are observed mostly with kids while taking their food. Yes, giving blow is the best and ultimate solutions that time.

I also get choked sometimes, specially when I try to gulp down a piece of fruit cake. I feel constrain in my throat and for a while forget how to gulp down prooperly.
Afro, I choked while I was laughing madly and even when I did nothing, I choked on my own saliva =))))
Pretty informative!
I used to get choked while eating in my childhood and it happened cause I used to eat carelessly. But its fine now it does not happen with me or any of my family member!
Thanks for the share dear!
I am a regular victim of having food in my air tube. It has been inherited from my father. My late mother used to give me a piece of bread whenever I had (I still have this problem) and asked me to swallow it after a bit chewing. The piece of bread when slides down it press the air tube too and takes the particle in it down to the stomach.
There is a small piece of flash in our through like bell (I do not know what it is called in English, in Urdu we call it Cawwa (crow), this is very useful thing when we eat and swallow our food, this bell like part shut the air tube. In my case or in case of my father it may have some problem while shutting.
May Allah help us all. This is very painful.
