Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I admire your positive outlook and appreciate your concern for your son.
I would like to ensure you that according to your history, chances of secondary drowning or dry drowning are very rare, so please be relaxed and tension free.
Your son had coughed and that is a natural reflex due to water, so no need to worry. Usually if mouthful of water enters into respiratory tract, then there will be signs and symptoms like coughing, sneezing, increased respiratory rate, difficulty in breathing, etc. And these symptoms appears within an hour or so. But in your case, even after 4 hours there are no such signs, so be assured that most of the water might have entered into stomach, not in lungs.
Hope this helps you and feel free to ask any further questions directly to me. Wishing you and your son a very healthy life ahead.
You are welcome anytime and don't get scared...

Hi,
As everything is normal now, no need to be scared. As i told you sneezing and coughing are protective natural reflexes, so you need not to worry much about it. If it continues for a very long time, then only you need to seek treatment.
I hope you are not scared now and you are welcome anytime to ask your questions.
