Food, drinks and feeling ill, sentence 6

A person who is choking but can still cough should keep coughing, because coughing is the body's own way of pushing the food out; if they cannot breathe, speak or cough, shout for an adult and call the emergency number.

Who acts: person, own way, nuts · What happens: choke, cough, keep, be, push out, not breathe · To what, where: own way, food, emergency number · Speech: someone speaks here
