A member asked:

I accidentally swallowed water down my windpipe into my lungs. is swallowing a little water okay?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Water is pretty harmless if aspirated into the lungs; there is no danger of chemical burn or pneumonia is. You might choke and have a congested feeling in your throats for a while, but that should be all if the water was clean
