Question
My child, who is 10 months old, accidentally swallowed a date seed four days ago. During that period, they had two bowel movements, but no date seed was found. Why is that? I am quite worried and greatly appreciate any responses from all the doctors.
Answer
It is usually not necessary to worry if a child accidentally swallows a date seed, as it will naturally pass through the digestive system and be expelled from the body. Based on your description, the date seed is likely to have passed through with the stool and does not need to remain in the abdominal cavity. You can rest assured that in this situation, the date seed will not cause harm to the child. This is my suggestion for the question “What should I do if my 10-month-old child accidentally swallows a date seed at night?” I hope it helps and wish your child a speedy recovery!
