Your fast is valid as long as you did not intentionally swallow the water, for Allah Almighty says: "And there is no blame upon you for that in which you have erred, but [only for] what your hearts have intended." It is advisable to postpone treatment that may involve something reaching the stomach until after Maghrib, if possible.
