Likely OK: This was single occurrence so unlikely to have symptoms or to have harmed you. Might have symptoms of upper abdominal discomfort. Suggest you consume 2 - 3 glasses of milk which will calm and protect your stomach. Do not need to go to ER. This will be valuable lesson to be more careful in the future.
