A member asked:
Choked on water 4 days ago. still have a mucusy cough, coincidence or should i be worried about secondary drowning? or is it my bad anxiety about it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Get checked: If there is a productive cough, this is not likely to be from irritation alone. Most people will recover within a hour after aspirating just a small amount of water. See doctor if the cough persists over a week or gets worse.
