You can either swallow and burp it up, or swallow it in the sense that you close your throat as if you were eating something.

For me, when I started smoking, I would "swallow" the smoke to stop the irritation. Since your throat closes when you swallow, it kind of soothes the irritation. If you're not careful with how you swallow it, you'll compress it into sort of a bubble and burp it up later.
