Baby choking on own vomit?

I'm just had the scariest day of my life.
I got up, opened my Mother's Day gifts and my 18 month old came and laid on me which she rarely does. She felt quite hot. She then vomited and seconds after went blue, limp and her eyes rolled to the back of her head. She wasn't breathing. 999 said ambulance could be over an hour so I drove her to A&E.
I thought it was maybe a seizure as her temp was 39 when we got there, but they think she was choking on her own vomit?
She showed no signs of coughing or anything it just happened.
Has anyone had anything similar happen with their child?

Could well have been. True choking is silent. There is no coughing or gagging.

She didn’t breathe from home to the hospital?

Where is your baby now?

Was it an infant febrile convulsion?

@Lovelyveg82 sorry she did, my partner gave her back blows out of instinct I think and she started breathing after about 30 seconds to a minute but was still quite unresponsive. We've just got home from hospital

It certainly sounds like it. What did the hospital say?
