This may be due to stress, and perhaps swallowing some soapy water. I would wrap him in a warm towel just out of the dryer, and let him snuggle with you. Once he relaxes and calms down I expect him to feel better in a few hours. If he stops eating or drinking or starts with a lot of vomiting then please bring him right in for an exam and treatment.
