“In secondary drowning, fluid builds up in the lungs, called pulmonary edema, after a near-drowning incident. The fluid causes trouble breathing. A person who had a drowning close call can be out of the water and walking around normally before signs of dry drowning become apparent.” (source: WebMD)
