Does swallowing something that gets stuck in one's throat after rinsing one's mouth, when it is impossible to spit it out, break the fast?

If a fasting person eats or drinks out of forgetfulness, he should complete his fast, and there is no make-up day required for him. However, whoever intentionally swallows food remnants stuck in his throat or between his teeth after he has begun fasting, when it was possible to remove them, his fast is invalidated, and he must make up that day and repent.
