What should I do if a child chokes on jelly and it gets stuck in the throat?

Generally, if a child chokes on jelly that becomes lodged in the throat, symptoms such as irritative coughing, cyanosis, and difficulty breathing may occur. In such cases, the Heimlich maneuver can usually be used for emergency first aid. The specific steps are as follows:

1. Stand behind the child and wrap your arms around their abdomen.

2. Make a fist with your left hand and place the knuckle of your thumb at the midpoint of the line between the bottom of the sternum (xiphoid process) and the navel.

3. Grasp your left fist with your right hand and perform 5–10 quick, inward and upward abdominal thrusts. Perform 6–8 thrusts per cycle until the child coughs and expels the jelly.

If the jelly is not dislodged using the Heimlich maneuver, it is recommended to seek immediate medical attention for the child to avoid delays in treatment, prevent unforeseen complications, and protect the child's health.
