What are the dangers associated with accidental ingestion of mouthwash?

Is swallowing mouthwash dangerous, or just not recommended? I took a few sips by accident.

Crest's "Pro Health" alcohol-free mouthwash.
But it's been a few hours now, I've had some heartburn, otherwise I'm fine.

This is indeed the worst that could happen to you
Obviously, it is not recommended to swallow it on a regular basis, but a small amount swallowed accidentally is usually not dangerous
I hope this information answers your question. I remain available for more information if needed!
