Secondary or “delayed” drowning happens when a child inhales water into his or her lungs, causing inflammation or swelling in the lungs. Although this would be hard for you to evaluate, it is not hard for a doctor to detect. If you take your child to a doctor they can listen to his chest and get an X-Ray chest done and that will help in ruling out secondary drowning.
