Suggest Remedies For A Blocked Nose After Drowning In Water

My son had an incident in the pool today where he fell off a floaty and was trying frantically to get to the wall. I didn t notice him go under. He cried after, no coughing at all. But now as he s sleeping he s real congested. (His sister has a cold) I think im being paranoid ive seen so much talk of secondary drowning on the news it makes me nervous. He has no other symptoms besides the stuffy nose.

Please dont worry , the stuffiness of his nose is due to the water and will come down in 1- days , just ask him to take steam inhalation 2-3 times a day. if he develops headache , vomiting or difficulty in breathing , then meet your ent doctor , he will examine him and do the needful.
