Hi,
It depends on cause of wet lung that how much time will be taken to recover. If it is due to prematurity, then it may take around one week, if it is due to cesarean section, it will recover in around 24 to 48 hours.
Wet lung is new born baby usually recovered only after good cry efforts. In normal vaginal delivery, fluid in lungs is squeezed out during delivery.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
