๐จ #FirstAidTip: Know the Recovery Position! ๐ค๐ฅ When assisting an unconscious person, gently roll them onto their side, supporting the head and tilting it back slightly. This helps maintain an open airway and prevents choking. Spread the word and help save lives! #SafetyMattezqd
DO NOT strike the person's head. Shake it gently in the direction of the ground to try to dislodge the object.
If the object does not come out, get medical help.
