Alone, silica gel is non-toxic, non-flammable and chemically unreactive. However,
some of the beads may be doped with a moisture indicator, such as cobalt (II) chloride, which is toxic and may be carcinogenic. Cobalt (II) chloride is deep blue when dry (anhydrous) and pink when moist (hydrated). This is the reason most silica gel packets are labeled as dangerous or poisonous when eaten.
I would still check it out further. . . How much did he eat?
