HELP PLEASE!

My 3-month-old dragon stopped eating and defecating for at least a week and a half now. I feed him small crickets and assorted greenery and moistened Juvenal bearded dragon pellets (that he doesn’t eat). My wife gave him some big crickets just before he stopped eating. She said he had a hard time with them. I tried a warm 20minute soak. I haven’t looked in his mouth but when he got a little water in his mouth he seemed to over salavacate and a little black substance seemed to be mixed in. Could a large cricket be lodged in there? Any advice?

Thanks for your time and attention.
