It is possible the cricket's spines scratched the inside of his mouth, but i am unsure. This is a rare occurrence.
In order to look inside his mouth you'll need someone to hold him for you while you gently use a plastic spoon turned upside down to open his mouth. Insert the tip of the spoon between the upper and lower jaws beneath the end of his snout and gently slide in toward the hinge of his jaws. It will not be very easy and he will not be happy, but you can take a peek inside his mouth that way. Be in a well lit area so you can see. Look or any redness on the palit or tongue.
You could also opt to let him be and just keep an eye on him. If he is active and eating normally then he may be fine.
