Possibly respiratory infection!!!

So I was bathing my baby beardie yesterday and he decided he didn't like me dropping water on his back. Well he decided to turn around and hiss at me ( not his best idea) and a little bit of water went in his mouth. Then he started coughing and it soon stopped. He seems fine now a bit cranky because he's in shed but otherwise fine. I was just wondering what signs I should look for?

Thanks!

I doubt that will cause a long term problem. Maybe have him sleep with his body facing downward slightly to help water drain from his lungs. I wouldn't worry too much though if he has good lighting and is otherwise healthy. Things to look out for include lethargic behavior, a lot of mucous buildup around the mouth and nose, and regular heavy breathing or trouble breathing.

Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
