Axolotl is full of sand??

Hi!! thank you for taking the time to answer my post!
My 5 inch leucistic named zebby has eaten sand! There have been posts about this before but the instructions on what to do havent been too clear. He ate quite a bit and i think it was because he was hungry and got a bit impatient! Here are some images (he seems to have a lump on the side of his stomach but there is no gravel or any kind of rock in the aquarium)
The sand is the CaribSea Tahitian Moon Sand

Also: his mood has been pretty much normal, the only thing is that hes been ahnging around the bottom a bit more than usual, but he eats and poops fine! A few hours ago i sucked up three clumps of poo

If he still eats and poops as normal, I wouldn't worry too much. If it gets worse, I would suggest fridging him for a few days so that he can pass whatever's blocking him up. As for the lump, I'm not quite sure - sand ingestion wouldn't cause that. Could he have swallowed a small part of a decoration? I would keep a close eye on it.
