Hello,
It is a relief that he is not choking. Yes, you must take him to the ER IMMEDIATELY. The Frito might move and block off his airway, or rupture through his oesophagus or trachea, or become the starting point for an infection.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
