Does the fasting person break their fast if they put water in their mouth to feel its coolness, and a small amount of it unintentionally enters their stomach?

If a small amount of water enters the internal cavity unintentionally, the fast is valid, and the fasting person is not required to make up the day. So, if a fasting person rinses their mouth and water goes down to their stomach without intention, their fast is valid.
