Pour water on the wound and put a bandaid on it. That should be good enough.

Have them lie down and push on their chest doing quick compressions.

The Heimlich maneuver is performed by straddling the victim from behind and bear-hugging them with your hands interlocked above their belly-button but beneath their breastbone. Thrust upward to expel air from the lungs and repeat until you are successful in clearing the object from the windpipe. IF THIS WORKS, THE PERSON WILL NEED TO VISIT THE HOSPITAL QUICKLY, INTERNAL BLEEDING CAN BE CAUSED WITH THIS METHOD.

You sand in front of them and hug them as hard as you can, forcing the food or whatever is lodged in their throats upward toward their mouth opening.

Put your middle finger (as it's typically the longest) in their mouth and throat and do a swipe to try and remove the item blocking their passage way. If that doesn't work and it's too far in their throat, have them bend over and try again.
