What to do if accidentally swallowed water from flood?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
generally: Generally you should be ok but sometimes you can have gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, stomach pains, diarrhea and things like that, that will go away rather quickly. If you have fever and more symptoms then go to the doctor for an appropriate evaluation as you could have an infection of sorts.
