You need to get it out and wrap it in a wet flannel and get a good look inside the mouth. If you press gently under the mouth the fish will open its mouth.
If the fish isnt too big then you can do it in a net and bring the fishes mouth out the water |

I know that it has the gravel in its belly. We examined it and there is no way we can physically get it out. I guess time will tell. Thanks for the suggestions.

Take him to the vet. Or wait for it to die. It is a simple as that.
