Answer this question​

Answer 1

a) Coughing due to an infection while eating can be hazardous because the food can get choked in the throat. Besides infection to the esophagus or larynx, tonsillitis can cause a cough. Tonsillitis is an infection of the tonsils in which the food lining gets inflamed. Rubbing of food against the inflamed throat triggers the coughing.

b) Stand to the side and just behind a choking adult. For a child, kneel down behind. Place one arm across the person's chest for support. Bend the person over at the waist so that the upper body is parallel with the ground. Deliver five separate back blows between the person's shoulder blades with the heel of your hand.
