What To Do If Child Eats Xanax?

My son, found a half of a piece of Xanax on the floor, which must have been dropped, he put it in his mouth, chewed it up and spit it out, It was only a small piece and I got what I think was most of it out of his mouth, but what do I do now, I don t know if he actually ingested any of it or not, what should I do?
