How To Reduce Burning Sensations After Improper Swallowing Of Doxycycline?

I took a pill (doxycycline) and I guess it got stuck in my throat and came up and was caught in my sinus cavity! Its burning! and my nose is stuffed, my eyes started to water and I was burping bubbles... most things have subsided now but the burning is still kinda of intense! What do I do?
