A minor problem, but it can get utterly annoying if it is persistent..

so here we go with solutions:

India:

7 sips of water not more not less – granny’s medicine

Colombia:

Drink a bottle of water upside down…not that enjoyable

Wikipedia:

Think about cows, any cows doing anything…allegedly this is 110% effective!

Other Cures:

Hold your breath (a well known one)

pulling ears, pinching nose, drinking honey and getting tickled are other common beliefs

- Whether they are effective, you need to find out by trying them out yourself.
