My brother swallowed methylated spirits many years back (he was like 6) and depending on how much he drank they told him to drink plenty of milk/water

But as above get down the quacks

As above mate, get yourself down the doctors, or at least give them a ring and see what they say.

Milk is the best thing for neutralising nasty flavours IMO. But in your, I would give the doctors a call, not rely on the PF doctors.

If the swallowed poison is a petroleum product such as Petrol, Diesel, Kerosene or oil, or if it is a strong acid or alkali, vomiting should not be induced.
If vomiting is not being induced, the poison should be diluted by giving the victim a glass of water or milk. Repeat this, but if nausea ensues, discontinue the process.
If the victim vomits, save the vomit for subsequent analysis.
If respirations cease or are shallow and irregular give the victim mouth-to-mouth artificial respiration.
If the heart stops, give the victim CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation).

Ended up coughing it all back up and it pissing out my nose etc etc Had a load of milk and the taste and feeling sick went away pretty quickly!

oh!
I have done this twice, I used to syphon petrol every weekend for years so it wasnt that regular to get it wrong
Anyway, once when it happened i coughed and took down the mouthful! Didnt really think to go to the doctors as it was ok the 1st time apart from those horrendous burps. Can fair burn though so guess you have to decide and probably why your not meant to vomit. I'd call NHS 24 if I were you to see their take.

You'll be alright mate! Years back I managed to swallow 3 mouthfulls of petrol which was in a juice bottle.

We were camping on an island and after ferrying everyone to the island and then lugging all the kit off the boat and to the area we'd decided to camp at, being thirsty I grabed the juice bottle and glugged 3 mouthfulls before realising something wasnt right. Someone had filled the 2 litre bottle with petrol for the BBQ/campfire, with it being dark It wasnt evident by just looking at it. I spent that night hallucinating pink elephants the lot pmsl.
Where I went wrong was when I realised that I needed to get some fluid in me and fast I then had fizzy juice, I was burping petrol taste for a close on a day.

Horrible mate but as said above, we've all done it and probably will again

It'll go, but if it actually makes you sick, go see a doctor!

A common misconception. Godzilla actually had atomic breath and would shoot out a concentrated blast of radiation.
