So it may be safe to take your child to the ER if they inhale water - even if they seem fine? If it prevents secondary drowning, then insurance should pay for it.

I do know in pediatrics, a child can drown on only a teaspoon of water in their lungs. May not seem much, but those little things do add up, with a sad catastrophic result.
