Hi, You need to consult a pediatrician for this. There might be need for detailed evaluation and investigations. You have not mentioned which tablets were prescribed to him initially and also whether a chest x ray was done at that time. The problem depends on how much water was ingested or inhaled at that time and also on the submersion time.
