What does it mean when you can't burp up the air you swallowed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
May get "heartburn": The air has either passed, without notice, or remains in your stomach. Either way, it will come back out, be displaced out by other new fluids, or dissolve. Either way, it shouldn't be dangerous. It can cause nausea, vomiting, or "heartburn" however, so purposefully swallowing air is generally not advised.
