The rescuer places the infant face down so that his/her body rests on his/her arms and leans on his/her knees. The rescuer’s arm is placed against the chest, with the thumb and the remaining four fingers in the mandible, and the other hand is tapped 5 times on the infant’s back between the shoulder blades; then the infant is turned upright, and the index and middle fingers are pressed against the chest 5 times on the lower part of the infant’s sternum until the foreign body is spit out.

All of the above medicines should be used under the supervision of a doctor.
