I thought about this thread today when I went through CPR/AED/First Aid training again (have to do it regularly as a childcare worker). Funny thing is that the recommended treatment for a conscious choking child who is coughing is to encourage them to keep coughing. Only when they stop coughing do you move on to abdominal thrusts (aka the Heimlich Maneuver).
