Wait for it: literally. You should find it in poo in the next couple of days. Go to the ER if he seems uncomfortable, belly is distended.

Relax: If he can drink any fluid you know it made it into his gut and did not get stuck or go into his lungs. It will pass in time like the bugs you never catch him eating.
