Here's what I found at www!.incidetech!.net/msdsboricacid!.pdf
Ingestion: Swallowing less than one teaspoon will cause no harm to healthy adults!. If larger amounts are swallowed, give two glasses of water to drink and seek medical attention!.
and here: www!.informapharmascience!.com/doi/abs/10!.!.!.!.
Four patients with elevated serum boric acid levels after single, acute ingestions of 10 to 297 grams were reported to the Rocky Mountain Poison and Drug Center (RMPDC) between January 1983 and August 1985!. Systemic effects were absent!.
In 1983-4, 364 cases of boric acid exposure were reported to the RMPDC with only one fatality from a probable chronic ingestion!. Vomiting, nausea, diarrhea, and abdominal cramps were rather common!. Systemic effects were notably absent in acute ingestions!. Five of three hundred sixty-four patients had measured serum levels and were the only ones hospitalized!.
These observations suggest that significant poisoning is unlikely to result from a single, acute ingestion of boric acid!. Serum boric acid levels appear to correlate poorly with clinical toxicity following acute ingestion!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Since you already swallowed it the best thing I (a person whom can not help you physically nor can anyone else on here) can tell you is to tell your mom and have her call a poison control center!. The number is 1-800-222-1222!.
I think when you call the poison control center they'll most likely tell you to drink as much water as you can (enough water that will make you too full and want to vomit)!.!.!. this way when you throw up the poison will come out with the vomit!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
