What Is Dry Drowning

Despite its name dry drowning involves water. It occurs when water is accidentally swallowed but the person does not drown immediately afterward. It can happen hours after swimming in case water was inhaled. The inhaled water later causes the vocal cords to spasm, closing the person’s airways. The fluid starts building up in and around the heart and the lungs. Dry Drowning mostly happens to kids, it very rarely happens to adults. It is rare in itself; it accounts for about 1% of all drownings.
