A member asked:
My 2 year old was swimming and drank some of the pool water. about 4 hours later he started throwing up. shoukd i be concerned? i'm very worried.

No worries: Swallowing a small amount of pool water while swimming is not concerning, even with an episode of vomiting 4 hours later. No 2 year old in history has ever been swimming and not swallowed at least some pool water. He should be fine.
