A member asked:
Hi, i choked drinking water yesterday, and my throat is a little scratchy with a little coughing. should i be worried about secondary drowning?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Your throat is probably still a little scratchy from all of the coughing after the choking type episode. The amount of water you inhaled from a serving of drinking water is not enough to cause drowning symptoms and the small water that might have been inhaled is readily absorbed.
