Suggest Steps To Take After Choking On Mini Wheat

My grandma just choked on mini wheat's and she couldn't breathe until she started to cough violently. So i called the ambulance. she is going to get her throat stretched on Friday. But i really want her to go to the hospital! Is there any dangers if a piece of food went down? Should we bring her to the hospital?

Hi,
If her breathing is normal now, there is no need to take her to the hospital. However, I suggest she takes a soft diet until she has her throat stretched to avoid any risk of choking on solid food.
