"Stop chewing snot"
The title is a common expression of V. Putin, especially appropriate at lunch when eating jelly. Now this expression can be addressed to himself. At the International Economic Forum in St. Petersburg, he boasted that Russia, compared with other countries, has a relatively light debt burden, a balanced budget and strict fiscal discipline. Former Finance Minister A. Kudrin warned at a press conference that Russia is facing an economic recession and that V. Putin should, in the interests of the country, hold back the victoriously promised increased military and social spending on the path to creating a happy capitalist future. Last year, A. Kudrin himself was pushed out of the government - he objected to the increase in military spending, which was painful for the country. Now he said that the economic situation in Russia is worse than it is represented by some delegates. Of course, Europe will experience a recession this summer, but Russia will also not be able to avoid a crisis this year. A. Kudrin, however, made a reservation that other economists are not very concerned, and neither is the new Russian government. At the forum, during a press conference, he told reporters that investors and banks are already withdrawing money from Russian sources, and the situation in Europe is worsening every day. V. Putin, looking towards potential Western investors, said that the economic situation in Russia is better than in Europe. A. Kudrin, without embarrassment, said that V. Putin, keeping in mind the interests of the entire country, should abandon his populist slogans and recognize the generous promises in the next decade to increase military spending, raise wages, etc. as hasty. A. Kudrin said that it would be necessary, in addition, to more accurately calculate the programs being implemented or expanded. In his opinion, even current expenses are difficult to meet. Russia's budget is suffering from falling oil prices. This year, to balance the budget, the country needs the price per barrel of oil exported to Europe to be $117 or more. During the forum, this price was $90. He, of course, understood that Western investors needed bait to invest in Russia. In this regard, the former Minister of Finance responded to V. Putin's speech in the following way: - A speech is good if its promises are realized. How can one not remember the story about a Russian sage who said this: “I have a good memory, but a short one.” - When this sage was asked to light a cigarette, he rummaged in his pockets for a long time, saying: - How thin I am! - After which he continued on his way, as if no one asked him for anything. V. Putin and his security appointees would have it sweet, as before, under a strict one-party system. United Russia members are bending over backwards to harshly crush critics, but they don’t let up. Recently, in the center of Moscow, Duma member V. Ponomarev addressed 50 thousand anti-government demonstrators: - Don’t we know the true essence of our rulers? Don’t we know thoroughly who V. Putin is? We need to act! - The wind shook the white ribbon on the lapel of his jacket, wet from the rain. - We must become real power . We are the true power! We are here! The excited crowds repeated in unison: “We are here!” We are the true power! V. Ponomarev is 36 years old, he is a scientist, he is one of two members of the Duma protesting against the government of President V. Putin. His like-minded person and friend who develops laws, D. Gudkov, is 32 years old. V. Ponomarev constantly communicates with anti-government demonstrators; he uses his immunity, acting as a mediator between demonstrators and the police. He calls himself an advocate for street protests. Unlike the housing of other Protestants, the housing of V. Ponomarev and D. Gudkov has not yet been turned upside down. Bye. V. Ponomarev's parents are also scientists, his mother is a member of the Federal Council. She was the only member of this Council to vote against the fines imposed on demonstrators. Ponomarev calls for negotiations with V. Putin and his appointees and associates. His assumption, which is gratifying for Russians and non-Russians, sounds like this: “I think the current regime will not last more than two years.” Perhaps it will turn sour in a year. Speakers at the forum in St. Petersburg spoke about the attitude of the people to the authorities, about the investment climate in Russia. Mr. Gref even made a historical excursion into the distant past, when America had not yet been discovered, speaking about traditional and economic transformations. True, none of the speakers, including those from Western countries, mentioned the importance of broad trust, which underlies investment. Of course, the abundance of natural resources and the low wages of Russian workers are attractive, but there are also worrying factors. In the West, and even in Russia, they know the history of treachery and the stupid ideological destruction and moral corruption of their people by the Chekists. Now the faithful security officers are in power. They are constantly concerned about the welfare of the Russians, if we mean their own relatives and friends, especially since now the church for them, as before, was a party organization. Instead, they glorify the past, over which the chief security officer V. Putin mourns, and boast of imaginary merits. Putin’s people may argue that now the situation is different, requiring different tasks. Then they should be reminded that “a Chekist is always a Chekist,” that the lies and concealment of Chekist crimes continue, that the use of medicine for political purposes continues, that the murders of critics of the regime by dummies (though not on a massive scale, as in the past) continue. The legal system is still not separated from the state, which has always been inherent in dictatorships. Election fraud continues. Empty demonstrative chatter about employees and their families declaring wealth hidden in the West continues, but in this last case, quietly and mainly among their own. Previously, capitalists were mercilessly destroyed, but now security officers, who themselves have become secret capitalists, are calling for a decisive fight against corruption. For this purpose, Russian leaders need to stand in front of a mirror and beat themselves up for their stupidity. After all, it was under them that corruption took root and flourished. Russians are seeing the light, as evidenced by widespread protests and demonstrations. This was indirectly confirmed even by the pro-Chekist media. But what is even more alarming for Kremlin leaders is that people in the West are increasingly understanding what is happening in Russia. People understand who is the helmsman in Russia and what kind of team the outhouse mochila recruited to forcefully control the Russians strictly according to the law, which is what the drawbar is - where it turns, it goes there. The Chekists are not “comfortable,” as it is now fashionable to say in Russia, when scientists convincingly prove that the Chekist past is the most accurate indication of current affairs in Russia and its future. Greed for money and power can become, as Russian pseudo-journalists flowerily proclaim, “suicidal.” 2
A person who breaks things down and creates clarity for people through text.
- The main pain of the editor.
There is a common misconception that an editor's job is creativity, and "an artist must be hungry." It is from the feeling that writing non-fiction texts is creativity that many problems arise.
Therefore, many colleagues earn criminally little. This is not true - you can and should make good money from texts. Editing is a craft, and consistency is a sign of skill. No one gives a damn about “I have no inspiration today, the weather is not right” - tasks need to be done, not chewed on snot.
- Three main conclusions you made while working as an editor.
The less text, the better. The text should solve the problem, but if there is an option not to use it at all, that's cool. I spotted this principle in TRIZ.
If we are talking about product editing, then the text is an integral part of the product and its design. Bad text can kill anyone, even the friendliest interface and coolest product. The cost of a mistake is higher here, but the work is more interesting.
The text is greatly overrated, but still will not die. It will adapt to new realities, but pictures, stories, videos and emojis will not be able to completely replace it.
- What inspires you and helps you gain strength?
Exploring the Italian approach to football tactics. This helps you take a fresh look at how to work with colleagues, delegate authority, and assign tasks. Helps to understand that the main thing is the person’s role, and not his formal position.
Just like in football: there are two central midfielders who play in the same position, but their roles can be completely different. One can launch attacks from deep and be the “metronome” of the whole team game, and the second is to rush from penalty area to penalty area, equally good at picking up balls, distributing passes, and sometimes scoring goals yourself, being an all-rounder.
And I just like the names of these roles of football players in Italian - fantasta, trequartista, regista. Sounds cool!
Autobiography of Alex Ferguson. A great man, coach, personality, lump, whatever you want to call it. He had a unique style of managing a football team; in his time he had to assemble several teams from scratch (albeit in one club), he always adhered to his principles, but at the same time he managed to achieve success. His story is a great source of wisdom.
The book "Design is work." Describes how to do things in a creative team. The insights apply not only to designers, but also to writers.
I try to follow the development of fonts, typography, and calligraphy. It’s interesting to see what form letters and symbols can take, it’s beautiful and gives inspiration. I save such pictures on Pinterest in a special board, and sometimes I go to exhibitions.

Most people have a runny nose several times a year. But not everyone can explain what snot is, where it comes from, what snot is needed for and why it often has a green tint. Some believe that snot is a substance flowing from the brain, others call it the cytoplasm of the blood. For still others, the question of where snot comes from remains a mystery.
What is snot, its composition
Scientifically speaking, snot is nasal mucus. Even a child knows where snot forms: in the nasal cavity. Oddly enough, mucous secretions play a rather important role: they protect the respiratory tract from dust and dehydration. For those who are aware of this, the question does not arise: “Why do we need snot?”
Why, when and how snot is formed
When running infectious disease, often appears bad smell from the nose. In such situations, the question usually arises: “Why does snot stink?” The stench most often indicates the formation of purulent discharge, which is considered a complication of the disease. Therefore, you should immediately seek qualified help.
Most often, a severe runny nose appears during illness, but there are other times when mucus is released from the nose. For example, when a person cries, snot flows. Many people are interested in why this happens. In reality, everything is quite simple: tears enter the nasal cavity, which creates additional moisture.
It is also common to produce more mucus when eating hot food. It is also not difficult to explain why snot appears after eating. This is due to the tone of the blood vessels of the nasal concha. It increases, and the production of snot accelerates.
In essence, vaccination is the introduction of a neutralized pathogen into the body. This helps develop immunity to the disease. However, any such intervention reduces protective reactions for some time, so, for example, snot after DTP or vaccination against hepatitis B is quite possible.
But you shouldn’t associate mantu and snot. In this case, a runny nose usually indicates the onset of a cold. Moreover, it should be borne in mind that any vaccination is given only to a healthy person. Therefore, snot after mantoux or another vaccine, as a rule, indicates the addition of an infection. This means you need to see a doctor.
Is it possible to eat snot
Since a runny nose gets worse during illness, many people often wonder: is it possible to eat snot? Whether it is harmful or not - everyone should know, although nasal mucus is swallowed mainly by children. It is quite stupid to make a complaint against a baby that he eats snot: chewing it, of course, is undesirable, but it is difficult to explain this to small children.
The situation is different when adults eat snot: there are several reasons why they do this. It's one thing if you can't blow your nose. And it’s completely different when this is done intentionally, and without thinking about what will happen if there is snot.
Despite the fact that nasal mucus protects the body from the penetration of many bacteria, runny nose is quite a serious problem. Therefore, before finding out whether snot is contagious, it is necessary to identify the nature of the disease. Indeed, under certain circumstances, mucous discharge from the nose does not pose any threat. However, if the cause of their formation is an infection, then the risk of infection is significant.
Free meeting
Dreams are full of secrets; many have tried to understand and study them; many thick and difficult-to-understand books have been written on these topics.
In this metaphorical way, higher powers point us to the future, and with the help of a dream book you can find out what this means and what you dream about: snot and everything connected with it. Before you find out the truth, remember the details, even if it is not very pleasant. They may be as follows:
Such “snotty” dreams may seem meaningless, but in fact they will tell you a lot. Open the dream book and find out why you dream about a runny nose and other minor troubles associated with it.
Important symbol
When you remember the details of the dream, try not to miss anything. Sometimes there can be several of them, and you can combine two or more values into one. Analyze why you dream about a runny nose, think - and you will find out what awaits you in reality, in the very near future.
1. As the dream book says, snot is a symbol of troubles and difficulties, but minor ones. The more of them there were in the dream, the more inconvenience they caused you, the more importance you will attach to minor worries and troubles.
2. As the dream book indicates, a runny nose in dreams, blowing your nose and getting rid of snot means an unpleasant meeting with a boring, dull and uninteresting person. Perhaps such a meeting will be at work, or maybe you will communicate with him in a company.
4. Even more unpleasant if you had to eat them. But it is also a monetary sign, even more true than the previous one. Wealth awaits you, which will literally fall on your head, and it will not be a small amount, but a serious addition to your budget!
5. Blowing your nose in a dream and seeing black discharge means gossip. Try to avoid them. Don’t provoke them yourself, don’t participate in their spread, and behave in such a way as not to cause unnecessary chatter.
6. A child’s runny nose in a dream indicates that certain barriers arise between you in communication. Pay attention to this, be wiser, think about how to make the relationship close and warm.
8. Seeing bloody discharge means a surprise that your loved ones are preparing for you. You will get unexpected joy from them! Perhaps it will be a gift or something else, but you will be very happy and pleasantly surprised.
9. If there were boogers in your nose, this is a symbol of insignificant, minor problems, small circumstances that bother you. You can overcome them very easily if you don't attach too much importance to them.
Such an insignificant symbol - which means, as we see, it has a lot, and sometimes speaks about serious things. Read the advice and predictions of the dream book very thoughtfully, do not immediately draw conclusions, think about how to apply this information to your life and your situations.
Remember that it is impossible to shift responsibility to the dream book, it is always only on you!
Snot in stable expressions
An unpleasant and absolutely unaesthetic liquid, which complicates life with a runny nose, is familiar to everyone. Therefore, in principle, there is nothing surprising in the fact that in the Russian language there are quite a lot of stable expressions with the word “snot”. Moreover, they all express an exclusively negative and disdainful attitude of the speaker towards the subject of speech. Which, in general, is quite understandable. It’s unlikely that anyone has ever felt any kindness towards snot or positive emotions caused by it.
Snot is pink, romantic and simply feminine
Sensitivity and emotionality are traditionally considered exclusively feminine qualities. Therefore, everything that, even theoretically, can cause tears and the snot that invariably accompanies them, in expressive speech is shamelessly called snot, naturally, pink or generally female. This category includes such different concepts as experiences due to unhappy love, pity, emotional instability, weakness of character, sugary melodramas and sentimentality in general.
For example: Snot, drool, tears are feminine.
It is believed that snot in its figurative meaning can be dissolved, chewed, wrapped around a fist, and, in the end, even thrown.
Dissolve the snot (nursies) - get emotional; get upset; become depressed; whine; lose heart
For example: Why are you snotty? It's just a sad movie!
For example: Stop sitting and chewing snot, call her yourself.
Wrap (wind) snot around a fist - cry; to be in poverty, to suffer need, deprivation; think for a long time, think slowly; catch a bad cold, suffer from a severe runny nose. Very close in meaning to this expression is the statement that someone has snot flows like a stream .
For example: Again you were running through puddles, and then you will wrap snot on your fist! Just last week the snot stopped flowing like a stream!
For example: He’s been hanging snot on our ears for three hours now.
Freezing snot - an expression from automotive jargon that means “to be on the road in frost or very cold weather.”
For example: Why do we need to freeze our snot now? It’s better to go during the day – it will be much warmer.
Sharpen snot – in youth slang it means “to cry.”
For example: Don’t touch her, otherwise she’ll start snotting.
Negative characteristics
Knock out (knock) the snot - without special effort cope with someone. This is what they say about someone who is very weak, powerless.
For example: Is this really a hero? You can kill him with snot!
Snotty – minor; inexperienced; dub. Anyone can be snotty, from a baby to a young man.
For example: Just yesterday he seemed to me like a snotty young man, but recent events have completely changed my opinion about him.
Snot - in automotive jargon, this is the name for poorly done electrical wiring.
Snot bubble(s) - an ironic or unkind characteristic of an arrogant, arrogant person.
However, only a few people know what snot is made of. It turns out that their composition is quite simple:
- water;
- salts (that's why snot is salty);
- several types of proteins, for example: mucin protein, which makes nasal mucus thick.
- Seeing snot in a dream.
- Blow your nose.
- Your baby's nose is running.
In addition, nasal secretions contain antibodies against bacteria and viruses, including enzymes that kill pathogens. Thus, mucus is a kind of filter that protects the lungs from the penetration of small debris.
Probably every person has thought about how snot forms in the nose: they appear, it turns out, thanks to the retinal mucosa present in the nasal cavity. The volume and size of the discharge depends on the mucin protein, which, in contact with moisture, can increase the amount of mucus.
In a healthy person, the nasal mucosa produces approximately 100 ml of snot per day. And during illness - up to 2 liters, since in this case the body’s protective reaction causes snot.
Main reasons for education
Don’t immediately panic if you have snot in the morning: during sleep, under certain circumstances, nasal mucus can accumulate in the nasopharynx. However, it is still worth seeing a doctor, because when diagnosed with an allergy, snot is the first sign. In this case, down and feather pillows should be considered as the main irritant.
Snot after vaccination
Many doctors believe that the habit of eating snot is formed in childhood: how can we prevent adults from doing this? Probably no specialist will give a clear answer. The most suitable option is to popularly explain whether eating snot is healthy and why it is better not to do it.
Sometimes snot comes out through the mouth: why this happens is not difficult to explain. After all, the nose and mouth are quite closely interconnected. It is not for nothing that when these organs become ill, only one doctor, an otolaryngologist, deals with treatment.
Why did you have a dream about snot?
at the Women's Club!
Some people try to control dreams and bring them under their own control, some people don’t care about this part of life at all, but be that as it may, dreams exist. They are an integral part of our existence, and without them life would be much more gray and boring.
Moreover, dreams help us, often mean something important, hint at significant events and the future, reveal the secrets of fate, and give advice. You can't help but pay attention to them!
Sometimes you dream about not the most pleasant things. For example, snot, runny nose, nasal discharge - why do you dream about them, and what can it symbolize, and in general, is this a sign? Of course, this is a sign, and if you dreamed of snot, had to see it in a dream, blow your nose or something like that - it’s not just like that.
But in reality there will be no serious problems; such a dream only indicates that you are inflating problems and taking them too seriously. Try to learn to relate to everyday difficulties more easily, remain calm, and problems will bypass you!
If you need this communication for work, be patient, abstract yourself. And if it is possible to avoid unpleasant and unnecessary communication, then why endure and suffer?
3. If you dreamed of snot in or on your hands, this unpleasant and strange dream promises money! The more of them there were, the thicker and brighter in color they were, the more money you should expect in reality.
We often dream of all sorts of abominations as a symbol of prosperity; we should treat this calmly. Just know that soon your wealth will increase and you will live better!
7. Dried nasal discharge means that very soon you yourself, on your own, will be able to get rid of the troubles that are bothering you.
In addition to the familiar synonym for the word “snot” - nurse, there is also one more, dialectal and rarely used - vozgri. Doesn't it look a lot like a euphemism? And without any softening substitutions, the use of the word “snot” in a figurative sense is very common.
Exotic action with snot
Chew snot – be in an indecisive state, hesitate to respond or react to external influences; to be inactive; mumble - that is, not only act indecisively, but also slowly. According to the first, main meaning of the verb “mumble”, the interpretation “indistinct, speak quietly” is also acceptable. It can also be used to mean “to dwell on a bad mood.”
For many years after their father’s death, they have been wrapping their snot around their fists.
Inflate (drive) snot – a slang expression meaning “to suffer from a runny nose.”
Throwing snot – stop being upset and sad. Used mainly in the imperative mood.
For example: Give up this snot, let's drink some tea!
Wipe away the snot - beat, surpass, be better in competition. Despite the general positive assessment actions, negativity is still present in the statement - this is a mockery towards the loser, the defeated.
For example: It’s great that we wiped his snot yesterday! Now he is ashamed to appear at work.
Hit the snot - win a convincing victory over an extremely unpleasant opponent; teach a lesson; punish.
For example: That’s what he needs, he’s been asking for a long time for someone to give him a kick in the snot, and finally they found someone who did it.
Hang snot on your ears - the same as telling lies: to deceive, to tell something implausible.
Pick up snot – (from football jargon) tie the laces of your sneakers.
For example: Pick up the snot, you'll fall now!
Made (kept) on snot - the expression means low quality, fragility, unreliability of something. It can be considered as a negatively colored version of the characteristic “keeps one’s word of honor.”
For example: Everything in the house was done in snot - here and there the new residents came across construction defects: through holes in the window frames, wires sticking out of loose sockets, wallpaper somehow glued.
Get drunk until you (green) snot - reach the extreme degree of alcoholic intoxication, get very drunk. A very funny version of the saying is to get drunk to the point of liquid snot.
For example: You can’t do the same - every time you get drunk until you turn green.
For example: Why does he suddenly have a snot bubble?
Snot - sad? No, it's funny!
You can treat snot not only with disdain, but also with humor. And then these funny sayings are born:
Yellow snot
A runny nose causes considerable discomfort to most people. And if at the beginning of the appearance of this symptom no one pays attention to it, then after yellow snot begins to appear from the nose with enviable regularity, breathing becomes significantly more difficult, and the process of blowing the nose turns into a real problem, only then does a person think about his condition. Previously, without paying due attention to this insignificant symptom, the patient independently provoked its development and activation. Yellow snot became only a logical continuation of the main disease. In this case, it is worth arming yourself with the appropriate knowledge and the necessary medications in order to overcome your problem and regain your health.
Causes of yellow snot
If you look at it, the causes of yellow snot are not so diverse and it’s worth reading them carefully to understand what served as the basis for their appearance:
Yellow snot, the appearance of which is caused by smoking, is very viscous and causes smokers a lot of discomfort. The nasal mucosa is subject to the constant negative effects of nicotine tars, resulting in severe irritation. The nakatin itself and the smoke generated from cigarettes contribute to the coloration of viscous mucus yellow. You can get rid of them only by refusing bad habit. Otherwise, a chronic disease of the nasal cavity may occur and snot will become a companion for life.
When the patient does not have a bad habit or probable pathologies in the nasopharynx, then most likely the cause of yellow snot lies in a bacterial infection. As a result of exposure to bacteria actively multiplying on the nasopharyngeal mucosa, active irritation occurs. As a result, an exceptionally transparent liquid initially comes out, which, due to the active fight against bacteria, turns yellow. In addition, dead bacteria, their metabolic products and pus formed in the mucous membrane contribute to the appearance of bright color.
Yellow-green snot
First of all, yellow-green snot indicates that a bacterial infection introduced into the body is under active attack by neutrophils. It is their breakdown products that give a similar color to nasal discharge. In addition, yellow-green snot has a special viscosity, which significantly complicates the process of blowing your nose. Viscosity is caused by an excess amount of protein in the liquid, which promotes the proliferation of pathogens. As a result of the fact that viral activity increases significantly and the color of the discharge becomes particularly intense.
Yellow snot in a child
Children have an abundance of yellow snot, which means sharp drop immunity, as a result of which the body’s ability to actively fight pathogenic bacteria decreases. As a result, neutrophils, designed to actively fight pathogens, do not act effectively enough, which leads to the progression of the disease. Often, a bacterial infection mixes with a viral one and leads to yellow snot in a child that literally flows like a stream and does not stop. In some cases, the snot becomes particularly thick and does not allow the child to breathe freely. In this case, it is necessary to make them less thick and make it easier to come out. For such purposes, inhalations and rinsing the nasal cavity with saline solutions are best suited. The child’s breathing will become easier quite quickly and fighting the viral infection will become much easier.
Yellow snot in an adult
An adult never develops snot for no reason. Initially, it seems that only ordinary clear liquid comes out of the nose. But, after a few days, this minor symptom develops into a more serious problem. Since the body has already begun an active fight against viruses. The mucous membrane of the nose swells greatly, breathing is very difficult and it seems that there is foreign body, which is difficult to get rid of. And the reason for this is yellow snot with an abundance of decay products of various microorganisms. Ordinary vasoconstrictor drops will no longer have an effective effect here, but will only make breathing easier for a while. In addition, they can be addictive, against the background of which various chronic diseases can develop, and the disease can spread not only to the maxillary sinuses, but also affect the middle ear.
Such obvious symptoms of the body should not be ignored. Self-medication is not always effective. By contacting a therapist, you can get rid of the disease in a few days without complications.
Thick yellow snot
If in the first stages of the disease, only clear liquid runs from the nose of both an adult and a child, then within a couple of days thick yellow snot is already coming out of the nose. They were formed as a result of the body’s active fight against bacteria. The abundance of protein in their composition makes it difficult for mucus to pass through the maxillary sinuses, which leads to the fact that the process of blowing the nose is accompanied by fairly loud sounds that do not give much result. As you know, it is advisable to thin thick snot and this can be done using both traditional methods and drug treatment. In the second case, it is important to take into account addiction to medications, which should be treated with extreme caution.

Yellow snot in a child: how to treat thick snot if it does not go away
Yellow snot in children is common, it seems that it goes without saying. We can say that this is true: the child’s body undergoes a process of adaptation to environment. This is especially noticeable when the child is surrounded by other children. During this period, the baby’s body produces antibodies that will fight bacteria and viruses, and mucous secretions are the body’s defense.
Yellow snot in a child causes ambiguous actions among parents: some go to the doctor, others self-medicate, and others wait for it to go away on its own.
Causes of yellow snot in children
In a situation where a child’s yellow liquid snot does not go away for a long time, you need to worry: most likely, the baby has low immunity and you need to start strengthening it. If a child has thick yellow snot, then the appropriate action for parents is to contact an ENT doctor.
As for pediatricians and their opinions regarding snot of different colors, they differ. Yellow-green snot in a child: for some it is a sign of inflammatory purulent processes, for others it is a sign of recovery.
Of course, in any situation, you need to proceed from when the runny nose appeared - bright yellow snot and how long the process of its release lasts:
To the parents’ question: “Why is there yellow snot with blood?” can be answered as follows: the close location of blood vessels to the surface of the mucous membrane causes some capillaries to burst when sharply blowing the nose, and blood enters the mucous secretions.
Yellow snot in a newborn
If an infant under one year old has yellow snot, then this is a serious cause for concern, since a runny nose in newborns does not occur exactly like in adults. First of all, this is due to the inability of children to independently get rid of accumulated mucus in the nose. The nasal cavity in young children is narrow and thin, so the nasal passages quickly become blocked.
Yellow snot in a newborn can cause severe swelling of the mucous membrane, which can lead to complete loss of breathing. Also, a prolonged runny nose leads to complications in the form of sinusitis, pharyngitis or tonsillitis, which is associated with underdeveloped immunity. But, most often, a newborn baby loses weight, since a stuffy nose does not allow him to fully feed on mother’s milk.
Yellow snot in preschool children
In children to school age For those who attend childcare centers, there are plenty of reasons for a runny nose. Constantly yellow transparent snot is an indicator of a weakened immune system. Sometimes mild hypothermia is enough for a child to catch a runny nose.

It is highly undesirable to self-medicate, as this can suppress the immune system rather than help you recover. After all, bright yellow snot in children can develop into more complex diseases, the most harmless of which is sinusitis.
Yellow snot in schoolchildren
Mucus discharge in school-age children is much more common than in younger children. This is due, first of all, to the fact that children lead an active lifestyle:
But, at the same time, it is necessary to understand that the child’s body is not yet fully formed, and neither is its immunity. In order to avoid the question of how to stop snot in a school-age child, it is necessary to prevent a runny nose.

Treatment of yellow snot
It’s quite easy to understand what yellow snot means. But how to treat liquid snot of this color and is it worth paying attention to the consistency? Doctors answer this question affirmatively.
Liquid snot usually appears with a physiological runny nose and has virtually no effect on health. To eliminate them, a regular saline solution is sufficient, which must be instilled into the nose 3 to 4 times a day.
It is much more difficult to fight a cold, since in this case thick purulent snot appears in children, colored green or yellow. Cause of infection:
The disease progresses differently in children and adults. If yellow snot appears in a child, treatment should be carried out according to the following scheme:
- reduce body temperature with compresses;
- give your baby plenty of fluids;

Most people have a runny nose several times a year. But not everyone can explain what snot is, where it comes from, what snot is needed for and why it often has a green tint. Some believe that snot is a substance flowing from the brain, others call it the cytoplasm of the blood. For still others, the question of where snot comes from remains a mystery.
What is snot, its composition
Scientifically speaking, snot is nasal mucus. Even a child knows where snot forms: in the nasal cavity. Oddly enough, mucous secretions play a rather important role: they protect the respiratory tract from dust and dehydration. For those who are aware of this, the question does not arise: “Why do we need snot?”
However, only a few people know what snot is made of. It turns out that their composition is quite simple:
- water;
- salt (here why is snot salty);
- several types of proteins, for example: mucin protein, which makes nasal mucus thick.
In addition, nasal secretions contain antibodies against bacteria and viruses, including enzymes that kill pathogens. Thus, mucus is a kind of filter that protects the lungs from the penetration of small debris.
Why, when and how snot is formed
Probably every person has thought about how snot forms in the nose: they appear, it turns out, thanks to the retinal mucosa present in the nasal cavity. The volume and size of the discharge depends on the mucin protein, which, in contact with moisture, can increase the amount of mucus.
With an advanced infectious disease, an unpleasant odor from the nose often appears. In such situations, the question usually arises: “Why does snot stink?” The stench most often indicates the formation of purulent discharge, which is considered a complication of the disease. Therefore, you should immediately seek qualified help.
In a healthy person, the nasal mucosa produces approximately 100 ml of snot per day. And during illness - up to 2 liters, since in this case the body’s protective reaction causes snot.
Main reasons for education
Most often, a severe runny nose appears during illness, but there are other times when mucus is released from the nose. For example, when a person cries, snot flows. Many people are interested in why this happens. In reality, everything is quite simple: tears enter the nasal cavity, which creates additional moisture.
It is also common to produce more mucus when eating hot food. It is also not difficult to explain why snot appears after eating. This is due to the tone of the blood vessels of the nasal concha. It increases, and the production of snot accelerates.
Don’t immediately panic if you have snot in the morning: during sleep, under certain circumstances, nasal mucus can accumulate in the nasopharynx. However, it is still worth seeing a doctor, because when diagnosed with an allergy, snot is the first sign. In this case, down and feather pillows should be considered as the main irritant.
In essence, vaccination is the introduction of a neutralized pathogen into the body. This helps develop immunity to the disease. However, any such intervention reduces protective reactions for some time, so, for example, snot after DTP or vaccination against hepatitis B is quite possible.
But you shouldn’t associate mantu and snot. In this case, a runny nose usually indicates the onset of a cold. Moreover, it should be borne in mind that any vaccination is given only to a healthy person. Therefore, snot after mantoux or another vaccine, as a rule, indicates the addition of an infection. This means you need to see a doctor.
Is it possible to eat snot
Since a runny nose gets worse during illness, many people often wonder: is it possible to eat snot? Whether it is harmful or not - everyone should know, although nasal mucus is swallowed mainly by children. It is quite stupid to make a complaint against a baby that he eats snot: chewing it, of course, is undesirable, but it is difficult to explain this to small children.
The situation is different when adults eat snot: there are several reasons why they do this. It's one thing if you can't blow your nose. And it’s completely different when this is done intentionally, and without thinking about what will happen if there is snot.
Many doctors believe that the habit of eating snot is formed in childhood: how can we prevent adults from doing this? Probably no specialist will give a clear answer. The most suitable option is to popularly explain whether eating snot is healthy and why it is better not to do it.
Sometimes snot comes out through the mouth: why this happens is not difficult to explain. After all, the nose and mouth are quite closely interconnected. It is not for nothing that when these organs become ill, only one doctor, an otolaryngologist, deals with treatment.
Despite the fact that nasal mucus protects the body from the penetration of many bacteria, runny nose is quite a serious problem. Therefore, before finding out whether snot is contagious, it is necessary to identify the nature of the disease. Indeed, under certain circumstances, mucous discharge from the nose does not pose any threat. However, if the cause of their formation is an infection, then the risk of infection is significant.
