Answer for q 2 is If your child is coughing loudly, there’s no need to do anything. Encourage them to carry on coughing and don’t leave them.If your child’s coughing is not effective (it’s silent or they can’t breathe in properly), shout for help immediately and decide whether they’re still conscious.If your child is still conscious but they’re either not coughing or their coughing is not effective, use back blows (see below).Back blows for children under one year:Support the child in a head-downwards position. Gravity can help dislodge the object.
