of Drown
dry drowning is when you are submerged in water and your larynx closes letting nothing into your lungs.
It's called drowning.
If a person drowned, their lungs would be full of water because they breathed in the water. But if they died before drowning then their lungs would not be full of water as they wouldn't have breathed it in because they are dead.
Dry Drowning is not a real thing. There is something in your lungs to prevent liquid from coming into them. I know because my father is a doctor.
Secondary drowning can occur when even a small amount of sea water gets into the lungs. The salt draws water from the lung cells by osmosis. The water fills up the air spaces, therefore, effectively drowning the person.
Usually if there is overwhelming presence of water in the lungs usually caused by diseases or perhaps drowning.
To my knowledge; Dry-land drowning is a very rare type of drowning that occurs when a small amount of water enters the lungs and destroys the lungs from within creating inflammation of the lung tissue and the deterioration of lung function over time. Victims generally act unharmed with until symptoms erupt after the fact. As I understand, symptoms include, but are not limited to, shortness of breath, dizziness, and incontinence. The victims of dry-land drowning pass with the normal effects of drowning though they are nowhere near water.
Assuming that a person did not die from drowning, there is not much in the way of aftereffects. Infection in the lungs is always possible, but is easily treated with a course of anitbiotics like Augmentin or Levaquin.

In medical terminology, gross means something that can be seen with the unaided eye, so without magnification. Grossly clear lungs means that by whatever imaging they used, the lungs appeared clear. It is not saying that there isn't any microscopic stuff there, but there is't enough to see without magnification.
Milk does not clean out your lungs. The consistency of milk can make mucous thicker making it harder to clear your lungs.
