Should a person who has regained his breath but is unconscious be placed in the recovery position?

Should a person who has regained his breath but is unconscious be placed in the recovery position?
YES
NO

Why?

The recovery position shown helps keep the airway open in an unconscious person whose normal breathing has returned. It allows fluid to drain from the mouth and reduces the risk of inhaling it. If trauma is suspected, particularly a spinal injury, do not routinely roll the casualty over; maintain their airway and follow the dispatcher’s instructions. Keep checking that they are breathing normally.
