Answer

What should you do if someone starts choking at a restaurant in Mallorca?

Call emergency services immediately and ask staff or bystanders to help while you try basic first aid. If the person becomes unconscious, professionals need to take over at once, including airway support and resuscitation if necessary. In tourist areas of Mallorca, fast action can make a critical difference, but some blockages need specialist equipment.
