...there are three important signs that parents and carers should look out for: difficulty breathing, extreme tiredness, and changes in behaviour. All three symptoms result from the brain not getting enough oxygen because of water in the lungs....

Think about it.... If you BREATH WATER your going to feel it. Even if you chock on water you cough to some times an extreme extend.

I don't think you need to worry about your kid getting water in his or her mouth from the shower head in a bath tub.
