My 12 year old sister ate a lot of sunflower seed shells, now it hurts a lot to poop. what can i do to help?

Let it pass: Sometimes you have to live life to understand what choices you make have consequences. It takes about 4 days for material to work though the system in most and these shells will not digest. They will pass in time and may be irritating.Access to a cold compress and or mild hydrocortizone cream could help with discomfort.
