Busted's Charlie Simpson has urged parents to know the symptoms of 'secondary drowning', after his son was rushed to hospital with the condition. The Year 3000 singer took to Instagram to tell his story, in an effort to raise awareness on the little-known complication.
Four-year old Jago was swimming underwater in a pool while on holiday, but soon emerged "spluttering and coughing". Throughout the day, he became more lethargic and began vomiting, prompting his parents to take him to hospital. The musician recalled that his son was seconds away from catching pneumonia - and if they hadn't acted sooner the outcome "could have been very different."
While his son is recovering in hospital, Charlie's warning has highlighted the health risks of secondary drowning, but what exactly is it? What are the symptoms? And can it be fatal?
