I am freaking out, guys. Please help!

My cardinal fish just ate a blob of uncured reef superglue that got loose from fragging a coral. He is doing fine, but I've tried feeding him to see if it clogged anything. He took the food, but after a while, he spit it back out. I hope his esophagus and pharyngeal jaw movements are not glued shut. Please help; I feel so bad and helpless. If it is glued shut, will it eventually dissolve?
 
So many fish eat super glue, must be tasty. Most of the fish get it stuck on their mouths and it releases after a day or two. I think that in your situation, it is kind of a wait and see.
