Can I gargle while fasting?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
Today I kept fast but my tonsil pain started therefore needed to gargle. Can I gargle during fasting?

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

(Fatwa: 31/775/SN=8/1439)

You should bear a little pain but should not gargle in the state of fasting as in case water enters down the throat while gargling then your fast will be annulled. 

Allah knows Best!
