Hi, I’m Justin and I’m a trainer with the Singapore First Aid Training Centre.

I had a great chinese child care class last weekend. The vibe is high, class is responsive and received good energy from the crowd.

So a child care teacher asks me a very interesting question.
She says “In the old days, when a child is choking, her mom simply blows some breath onto the forehead of the choking child, and the choking symtoms just disappear. Is that true?” I told her that it is just a myth.

Blowing onto the forehead doesn’t help in relieving choking. Rather, a proper abdominal thrust or chest thrust is needed to be rendered to someone who is choking.
