A member asked:

Would you know if you were dry drowning or secondary drowning after having a swim? no coughing, breathing difficulties, pain or symptoms present

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes you would...: In simple terms you would have all the symptoms you stated you didn't have. Dry drowning is caused by airway spasm. You would cough and not be able to take a breath.
