When I was in Girl Scouts (a long long time ago), my sister and I learned CPR and other life saving skills. We learned that when someone is choking, but stil coughing, you should encourage them to keep coughing to expell the item themselves. Ironically, no too long after learning all this, i choked on a piece of candy and was coughing like mad, my sister said instead "Keep choking, keep choking"
