what about when something gets stuck in your eye :wacko: :unsure:

If you're choking but still able to cough, it's likely there's only a partial blockage of the trachea, so trying to cough it up is the first port of call. It only gets really serious when you're unable to cough it up - then someone should first try 5 back slaps, then the Heimlich Manoeuvre (abdominal thrusts) x5, whilst making sure you're supported.

 

If you fall unconscious and stop breathing, tilting the head back and starting chest presses as part of CPR can be successful in clearing the trachea, though not often. A medical professional (if you're lucky to have one at hand) might even have to cut a hole through your neck to allow air into your windpipe, something known as an emergency tracheostomy.

 

So really, you experienced the the first stage of choking - shouldn't have caused any physical harm but it's definitely unpleasant.
