Summary

A 13-month-old child presented from home, where he had begun choking and coughing. He had been eating pizza for dinner. When his mum turned around, she found he had opened her wallet that had been dropped on the floor. At home, he turned blue, went floppy and became unresponsive. His mum administered five back blows, which caused a cough and phlegm production, but nothing else.
