Dry Drowning Symptoms To Watch For

Unexplained Coughing

Patients who have started to have breathing issues or problems with speaking, will likely also experience unexplained coughing. While it's easy to identify a chronic case of coughing, some of the causes of acute coughing include pneumonia, the development of a common cold, and inhaling an irritant. In the event individuals aren't suffering from any of these issues, it's possible their unexplained coughing is due to dry drowning. The coughing will likely be persistent and won't dissipate even when they drink a large amount of water. While the cough itself shouldn't worsen, it also likely won't improve until patients have received treatment. Even though the coughing will be consistent, it shouldn't come with any additional problems like mucus or blood. The cough should display itself as a dry cough.
