The answer

If a fasting person swallows medicine after dawn (Fajr), she must make up that day without expiation, according to the majority of scholars. However, if she swallowed it before dawn and its taste remained, and she then swallowed her saliva, her fast is not invalidated because swallowing insignificant food remnants that mix with saliva does not invalidate the fast.
