There's like 2 hours left for Iftaar and I was doing wudhu for Asr and while gargling, water entered my throat by accident , not in the normal fashion, and immediately I spit everything out. I know it didn't go down my throat all the way, as I didn't swallow it, but it did enter it, but before going further, I coughed and forced it out.

According to this from Taleemul Haq this breaks your fast.

"Water goes down the throat whilst gargling, conscious of one' fasting."

Is the fast is broken? Does this mean ONLY if I actually swallowed the water or just for entering my throat deep enough it's broken? Even though I spit it all out even down to the last of any saliva I had left?

It's depressing this happens 2 hours away from Iftaar. I felt sick in the morning, and I was planning on not fasting for today, but I did anyway, and now it's broken?
