My son has had a nasty cough since we got home from the pool, should i be concerned?

See below: Did he have a submersion event (under water for a time and when emerged, coughing up water, etc.)? If so, go to the er now. The child will need to be watched for 6-8 hours for signs of an aspiration which may require treatment. If no such event, watch your child and if any respiratory issues evolve, go to the er.
