Suggest Remedy For Water In The Lungs

Hi I swallowed a gulp of pool water about 4 hours ago. I choked on it I guess, and gasped for air .. once I caught my breath and I guess my airway was cleared I was able to talk normally. I read online some cases of secondary drowning. Is it possible that I got water in my lungs while gasping for air, and if I could drown later tonight when I go to bed from secondary drowning.
