Don't worry, it is unlikely to be digested but is likely to be excreted from the body in the stool. Kindly observe your daughter for the symptoms such as choking, allergic rashes, profuse vomiting, etc. in which case you will need to take her to the ER at the earliest.

Hello. Typically any such dryfruit seeds are natural, i.e. organic in nature. They are either digested in the system or come out during passing stools if it could not be digested in the system. Usually it comes out. This should not be a big problem. However, keep a watch on any allergic reaction like rashes etc. and watch for the seed come out mixed in the stools.
