Brief Answer:
I think you may not have any other symptoms.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

I think you may not have any other symptoms. You just took a sip it is possibly a very small quantity to cause any symptoms and it happened yesterday and it had enough time to cause symptoms.
It would have been better if you vomited right away drinking warm water and provoked vomiting.
I don't think you may have other symptoms.
Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
