A member asked:

6 yo w/sensitive gag reflex. got a mouthful of water today at pool & vomited right away. this was 3 hrs ago. seems fine now. coughed 2x since. worry?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

If symptoms persist: If child is not having ongoing symptoms such as cough, choking, difficulty breathing, child is okay. Key to observe child over the next 24 hours. If symptoms of cough, choking or difficulty breathing occur, child needs evaluation in emergency room. Dry drowning and/or secondary drowning is very rare.
