A video is doing the rounds on social media from South Carolina of a police officer helping a mother save her baby daughter's life after she choked on teething medicine. 

The mother told the officer that her daughter was choking on medicine she’d given her to help with teething pain.

The police officer immediately turned the baby over onto its stomach and began patting her back in an effort to dislodge the medicine blocking her airway.
