The child is showing signs of airway obstruction which can be life-threatening. Give rescue breathing immediately if the child is not breathing and activate the EMS system. CPR and abdominal thrusts are not recommended for a child with an airway obstruction. Placing the child in the recovery position may not be effective in clearing the airway.
