Greetings Since your daughter is breathing and swallowing normally, this is not an immediate emergency.Small, smooth objects like date seeds typically pass safely through the digestive tract.You do not need to take her to the hospital unless new symptoms develop.Monitor her closely over the next 3 to 4 days for the seed to pass in her stool.Seek immediate medical care if she experiences abdominal pain, vomiting, or difficulty swallowing.Keep her hydrated and offer high-fiber foods to help the seed pass naturally.
