Well there is a very high chance that the sour cherry seed which you inhaled will go to your stomach and get thrown out in your stools provided it has passed from your nose into the throat.
So to check whether the seed has passed into the throat/stomach or if it is stuck in the nasal passage I would recommend a X ray PNS for you. Kindly get this test done and revert back with report.
Hope this information was useful to you.
Any clarifications feel free to ask.
