Introduction to dry drowning

Drowning is a serious concern, but what if I told you that drowning can occur even without being submerged in water? This phenomenon is known as dry drowning, and it is essential to understand the risks and signs associated with it. Dry drowning refers to a condition where a person experiences respiratory distress after inhaling water or other fluids. Unlike traditional drowning, where water enters the lungs, dry drowning occurs when water irritates the vocal cords, causing them to spasm and close up.
