“Tasks must be done, not chewed on snot,” Alexander Marfitsin about editing. Pokrass Gennady Samuilovich. "stop chewing snot" Snot in set expressions

A person who sorts things out and creates clarity for people through text.

- The main pain of the editor.

It is a common misconception that the job of an editor is creativity and "an artist must be hungry". From the feeling that writing non-fiction texts is creativity, many problems grow.

Therefore, many colleagues earn criminally little. This is not so - you can and should make good money on texts. Editing is a craft, and stability is a sign of excellence. Everyone doesn’t give a shit about “I don’t have inspiration today, the weather is not the same” - tasks must be done, not chewed on snot.

- Three main conclusions that 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 saw 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 copy can kill anyone, even the friendliest interface and the coolest product. The price of a mistake is higher here, but it is more interesting to work.

The text is heavily overrated, but still won't die. It will adapt to new realities, but pictures, stories, videos and emoji 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 to take a fresh look at how to work with colleagues, delegate authority, assign tasks. It helps to understand that the main thing is the role of a person, and not his formal position.

Like in football, there are two central midfielders who play in the same position, but their roles can be completely different. One can start attacks from deep and be the “metronome” of the entire team game, and the second one can rush from the penalty area to the penalty area, pick up balls equally well, give out passes, and sometimes score goals himself, be a generalist.

Yes, and I just like the names of these roles of football players in Italian - a fantastist, a trekwartist, a regista. It sounds cool!

Autobiography of Alex Ferguson. Great man, coach, personality, lump, whatever you want to call it. He had a unique style of managing a football team, in his lifetime 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.

Design is work book. Describes how to do things in a creative team. Insights apply not only to designers, but also to writers.

I try to follow the development of fonts, typography, calligraphy. It is interesting to see in what form letters and symbols can be dressed, it is beautiful and gives inspiration. I save such pictures in Pinterest in a special board, sometimes I go to exhibitions.

"Stop chewing snot"
The headline is V. Putin's spending expression, especially appropriate at dinner, when they eat jelly. Now this expression can be addressed to him.
At the International Economic Forum in St. Petersburg, he boasted that Russia, compared to other countries, has a relatively light debt burden, a balanced budget and strict financial discipline.
Former finance minister A. Kudrin warned at a press conference that Russia was in danger of 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 way to creating a happy capitalist future.
Last year, A. Kudrin himself was pushed out of the government - he objected to an increase in military spending that was painful for the country. Now he said that the economic situation in Russia is worse than it is presented by some delegates.
Of course, Europe will experience a recession this summer, but Russia will not be able to avoid a crisis this year either. A. Kudrin, however, made a reservation that other economists are not very worried, as well as the new government of Russia.
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 deteriorating every day.
V. Putin, glancing towards potential Western investors, said that the economic situation in Russia is better than in Europe.
A. Kudrin, not embarrassed, said that V. Putin, mindful of the interests of the whole country, should abandon his populist slogans and recognize as hasty generous promises to increase military spending in the next decade, raise salaries, etc.
A. Kudrin said that, in addition, it would be necessary to more accurately calculate the programs being implemented or expanded. In his opinion, even the current costs are difficult to meet.
Russia's budget is suffering from falling oil prices. This year, for a balanced budget, the country needs the price of a barrel of oil exported to Europe to be $117 or more. During the forum, this price was $90.
He certainly understood that Western investors needed bait to invest in Russia. In this regard, the former Minister of Finance commented on V. Putin's speech as follows: - Speech is good if its promises are realized.
How not to remember the story about the Russian sage, who spoke like this: - I have a good memory, but a short one. - When this sage was asked to light a light, 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.
It would be sweet for V. Putin and his siloviki appointees, as before, under a strict one-party system. United Russia members go out of their way to crush the critics, but they do not let up.
Recently, in the center of Moscow, Duma member V. Ponomarev addressed 50,000 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 ruffled the rain-drenched white ribbon on the lapel of his jacket. We must become a real force. 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 associate 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 an intermediary between the demonstrators and the police. He calls himself a lawyer for street protests.
Unlike the housing of other Protestants, the housing of V. Ponomarev and D. Gudkov has not yet been turned upside down. Till.
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 punitive taxes imposed on the demonstrators.
Ponomarev calls for negotiations with V. Putin and his appointees and associates. His gratifying assumption for Russians and non-Russians is as follows:
- 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 people's attitude to power, about the investment climate in Russia. Mr. Gref even made a historical digression 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 the broad trust that underlies investment. Of course, the abundance of natural resources and the low wages of Russian workers are attractive, but there are also alarming factors.
In the West, and in Russia as well, they know the history of deceit and stupid ideological destruction and moral decay of their peoples by the Chekists. Now orthodox Chekists are in power. They are in vigilant concern for 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 sing of the past, for which the chief security officer V. Putin mourns, and brag about imaginary merits.
Putinites may object that now, they say, the situation is different, requiring other tasks. Then they should be reminded that “a Chekist is always a Chekist”, that lies and glossing over of Chekist crimes continue, that the use of medicine for political purposes continues, that the murders of regime critics by figureheads (though not massive, as in the past) continue.
The legal system is still not separated from the state, which has always been inherent in dictatorships.
Voting fraud continues. Empty demonstrative chatter about declaring riches hidden in the West by employees and their families continues, but in this last case, quietly and mainly among their own.
Previously, the capitalists were ruthlessly destroyed, but now the Chekists, who themselves have become secret capitalists, are calling for a resolute fight against corruption. For this purpose, the Russian leaders need to stand in front of a mirror and beat themselves on 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 even more troubling for the Kremlin's leaders is that people in the West are becoming more and more aware of what is happening in Russia. People understand who is the helmsman in Russia and what kind of team got the toilet soaked for power control of the Russians strictly according to the law, which, whatever the drawbar - where you turned, went 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.
The greed for money and power can become, as Russian pseudo-journalists floridly proclaim, “Suisidel”.

Most people get a runny nose several times a year. But here is what snot is, where they come from, what snot is for and why they often have a green tint, not everyone can explain. Some believe that snot is a substance flowing from the brain, others call it the blood cytoplasm. For the third, the question of where the snot comes from remains a mystery.

What is snot, their composition

In scientific terms, snot is nasal mucus. Even a child knows where snot is formed: in the nasal cavity. Oddly enough, but 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

With an advanced infectious disease, an unpleasant odor from the nose often appears. In such situations, the question usually arises: “Why do 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 with an illness, but there are other moments in which mucus is released from the nose. For example, when a person cries, snot flows. Many are wondering why this is happening. In fact, everything is quite simple: tears enter the nasal cavity, this creates additional moisture.

Also, more mucus usually begins to be produced during a hot meal. Explaining why snot appears after eating is also not difficult. This is due to the tone of the blood vessels of the turbinates. It rises, while the production of snot accelerates.

In fact, vaccination is the introduction of a neutralized pathogen into the body. This helps build immunity to disease. However, any such intervention for some time reduces protective reactions, therefore, for example, snot after DTP or vaccination against hepatitis B is quite possible.

But do not tie manta 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 done only to a healthy person. Therefore, snot after mantoux or another vaccine, as a rule, indicates the addition of an infection. Which means you need to see a doctor.

Is it possible to eat snot

Since the runny nose intensifies during illness, many people often wonder: is it possible to eat snot? Harmful or not - everyone should know, although nasal mucus is swallowed mainly by children. It is rather stupid to make claims to the baby that he eats snot: chewing them, of course, is undesirable, but it is difficult for small children to explain this.

The situation is different when adults eat snot: there are several reasons why they do it. It's one thing if you can't blow your nose. And it’s completely different when this is done intentionally, moreover, 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 books have been written on these topics.

In such a 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 why you dream: snot and everything connected with them. Before you find out the truth, remember the details, even if it is not very pleasant. They may be as follows:

Find them on your own hands.

There are them.

Black snot in a dream.

Dried up, in the nose.

Bloody discharge from the nose.

Minor discharge in the nose, boogers.

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 of 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 more than one, and you can combine two or more values into one. Analyze why you dream of 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 insignificant. The more they were in a dream, the more inconvenience they caused you, the more importance you will attach to petty worries and troubles.

2. As the dream book indicates, a runny nose in dreams, blowing your nose and getting rid of snot is an unpleasant meeting with a boring, boring and uninteresting person. Perhaps such a meeting will be at work, or maybe you will communicate with him in the company.

4. Even more unpleasant if you had to eat them. But it is also a banknote, even more true than the previous one. Wealth awaits you, which will literally fall on your head, and this will not be a small amount, but a serious replenishment of the budget!

5. Blow your nose in a dream and see black discharge - to gossip. Try to avoid them. Do not provoke yourself, do not participate in their distribution, and behave in a way that does not cause unnecessary chatter.

6. A runny nose in a child in a dream indicates that there are some barriers between you in communication. Pay attention to this, be wiser, think about how to make the relationship close and warm.

8. Seeing bloody discharge is a surprise that your relatives 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 pleased and pleasantly surprised.

9. If there were boogers in the nose, this is a symbol of minor, minor problems, small circumstances that interfere with you. You can overcome them very easily if you do not attach too much importance to them.

Such an insignificant symbol - which means, as we see, a lot, and sometimes speaks of 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 set expressions

An unpleasant and absolutely unaesthetic liquid that complicates life with a cold is familiar to everyone. Therefore, in principle, there is nothing surprising in the fact that in the Russian language there are quite a few set expressions with the word "snot". At the same time, they all express an exclusively negative and dismissive attitude of the speaker to the subject of speech. Which, in general, is quite understandable. It is unlikely that anyone experienced friendly feelings towards snot or positive emotions caused by them.

Pink snot, romantic and just feminine

Sensitivity and emotionality are traditionally considered exclusively female qualities. Therefore, everything that, even theoretically, can cause tears and the snot that invariably accompanies them, is shamelessly called snot in expressive speech, naturally, pink or generally female. Such different concepts as feelings of unhappy love, pity, emotional instability, weakness of character, sugary melodramas and sentimentality in general fell into this category.

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 snot (nurses) - to feel; get upset; to fall into depression; whine; lose heart.

For example: What are you snot dismissed? It's just a sad movie!

For example: Stop sitting and chewing snot, call her yourself.

Wind (wind) snot on a fist - cry; to be in poverty, to endure need, deprivation; think for a long time, think slowly; get a bad cold, suffer from a severe runny nose. Very close in meaning to this expression is the statement that someone has snot flows in a stream .

For example: Again you ran through the puddles, and then you will wind snot around your fist! Only last week the snot stopped flowing like a stream!

For example: He has been hanging snot on our ears for the third hour already.

Freeze snot - an expression from automotive jargon, means "to be on the road in frost or very cold weather."

For example: Why do we need to freeze snot now? We'd better go during the day - it will be much warmer.

Sharpen snot - in youth jargon means "to cry."

For example: Do not touch her, otherwise she will begin to whet her snot.

Negative characteristics

To knock over (knock down) snot - without much effort to cope with someone. So they say about someone who is very weak, powerless.

For example: Is this a hero? You can beat him with snot!

Snotty - juvenile; inexperienced; dub. Anyone can be snotty, from a baby to a young young man.

For example: Just yesterday he seemed to me a snotty youngster, but recent events have completely changed my opinion about him.

Snot - in automotive jargon, this is the name of poorly made electrical wiring.

Snot bubble (bubbles) - an ironic or unfriendly characteristic of an arrogant, arrogant person.

I sit and get confused in snot.

You know how scary it is to sneeze, realizing that you don’t have time to run up and put a mug of hot coffee on the table.

Your socks will stay clean longer if you have a stuffy nose.

Don't touch my nose, it's already held on by snot.

In light of the fixing of ceiling panels on "liquid nails", the phrase "holds on snot" takes on a new meaning.

However, only a few know what snot consists of. It turns out that their composition is quite simple:

water;
salt (that's why snot is 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. In this way, mucus is a kind of filter that protects the lungs from the ingress of small debris.

Probably, every person was visited by the thought of how snot forms in the nose: they appear, it turns out, due to the retinal mucosa present in the nasal cavity. The volume and size of secretions depends on the mucin protein, which, in contact with moisture, is able to increase the amount of mucus.

In a healthy person, the mucous membrane of the nasal cavity produces approximately 100 ml of snot per day. And during the period of illness - up to 2 liters, since in this case the protective reaction of the body causes snot to be caused.

The main reasons for education

Do not immediately panic if snot occurs in the morning: in a dream, nasal mucus, under certain circumstances, can accumulate in the nasopharynx. However, it is still worth seeing a doctor, because when diagnosed with allergy, snot is the first sign. At the same time, 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 to make sure that adults do not do this? Probably no expert will give a clear answer. The most suitable option is to popularly explain whether it is useful to eat snot and why it is better not to do so.

Sometimes snot comes out through the mouth: why this happens is not difficult to explain. After all, the nose and mouth are quite closely related. It is not in vain that with the disease of these organs, only one doctor, an otolaryngologist, is engaged in treatment.

Why did you have a dream about snot?

at the Women's Club!

Someone is trying to control dreams and subordinate them to their own control, for someone this part of life is not important 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, give advice. You can't ignore them!

Sometimes not the most pleasant things happen. For example, snot, runny nose, nasal discharge - what do they dream of, and what can it symbolize, and in general, is it a sign? Of course, this is a sign, and if you dreamed of snot, you had to see them in a dream, blow your nose or something like that - this is not just.

Seeing snot in a dream.
Blow your nose.
Flowing from your child's nose.

But in reality there will be no serious problems, such a dream only indicates that you are inflating problems, taking them too seriously. Try to learn to relate to everyday difficulties easier, keep calm, and problems will bypass you!

If you need this communication for work - be patient, abstract. And if it is possible to avoid unpleasant and unnecessary communication, then why endure and suffer?

3. If you dreamed of snot in your hands or on your hands - this unpleasant and strange dream promises money! The more there were, the thicker and brighter in color they were, the more you should expect money in reality.

Often we dream of all sorts of abominations as a symbol of prosperity, this should be taken calmly. Just know that soon your well-being 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 bother you.

In addition to the familiar synonym for the word "snot" - nurses, there is another, dialectal and little-used - vozgri. Isn't it rather like a euphemism? And already without any mitigating substitutions, the use of the word "snot" in a figurative sense is very common.

exotic snot action

chew snot - to be in an indecisive state, to delay in responding or reacting to external influences; do nothing; mumble - that is, not just act hesitantly, but also slowly. According to the first, main, meaning of the verb “mumble”, the interpretation “indistinctly, speak quietly” is also permissible. It is also possible to use it in the meaning of "to get hung up on a bad mood."

Already a year after the death of their father, they wind snot on their fists.

Inflate (drive) snot - slang expression, means "to suffer from a cold."

Throw snot - stop being upset and sad. It is mainly used in the imperative mood.

For example: Drop these snot, let's have a cup of tea!

Wipe snot - beat, surpass, be better in rivalry. Despite the overall positive assessment of the action, there is still a negative in the statement - this is a mockery in relation to the loser, the defeated.

For example: Great, we wiped his snot yesterday! He now seems ashamed at work.

give snot - win a convincing victory over an extremely unpleasant opponent; teach a lesson; punish.

For example: So he needs it, he has been asking for a long time for someone to give him snot, finally there was someone who did it.

Hang snot on your ears - the same as hanging noodles on your ears: deceiving, telling something implausible.

pick up snot - (Football jargon) tie your shoelaces.

For example: Pick up the snot, you will fall now!

Done (keep up) on the snot - the expression denotes low quality, fragility, unreliability of something. It can be viewed as a negatively colored version of the characteristic "rests on parole."

For example: Everything in the house was done on snot - here and there, newcomers came across construction imperfections: through holes in window frames, wires sticking out of loose sockets, wallpaper somehow glued.

Get drunk to (green) snot - to reach the extreme degree of intoxication, to get very drunk. A very funny version of the statement is to get drunk to the state of liquid snot.

For example: It’s also impossible - every time you get drunk to green snot.

For example: And why did he suddenly have snot in a bubble?

Snot - sad? No, it's funny!

Snot can be treated not only with disdain, but also with humor. And then such funny statements are born:

Soon I'll drown in my snot.

I got sick of Mr. Sneeze and Uncle Cough.

The well-being of an otolaryngologist rests on snot.

The mouse snot will burp out to the cat.

Nothing chews as long as snot.

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 much more difficult, and the process of blowing out turns into a real problem, only then, a person thinks 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 underlying disease. In this case, it is worth arming yourself with the appropriate knowledge and the necessary medicines in order to overcome your problem and restore health.

Causes of yellow snot

If you look, the causes of yellow snot are not so diverse and you should carefully read them to understand what served as the basis for their appearance:

general weakening of the immune system;

smoking;

viral infection;

severe hypothermia;

pathologies in the respiratory system.

Yellow snot, the appearance of which is provoked by smoking, is very viscous and gives smokers a lot of discomfort. The mucous membrane of the nose lends itself to the constant negative effects of nicotine resins, resulting in severe irritation. By itself, the nakatin and smoke formed from cigarettes contribute to the coloring of viscous mucus in yellow. You can get rid of them only by giving up bad habits. Otherwise, a chronic disease of the nasal cavity may occur and snot will become a companion for life.

When the patient does not have an addiction and probable pathologies in the nasopharynx, then most likely the causes of yellow snot lie in a bacterial infection. As a result of exposure to bacteria that actively multiply on the nasopharyngeal mucosa, there is active irritation. As a result, an exceptionally clear liquid initially comes out, which, due to the active fight against bacteria, turns yellow. In addition, dead bacteria, their waste products and pus formed in the mucous membrane contribute to the manifestation of a bright color.

Yellow-green snot

First of all, yellow-green snot indicates that a bacterial infection introduced into the body is being actively attacked by neutrophils. It is their decay products that give a similar color to nasal discharge. In addition, yellow-green snot has a special viscosity, which contributes to a significant complication of the blowing out process. Viscosity is caused by an excess amount of protein in the liquid, which promotes the growth of pathogens. As a result of the fact that viral activity increases many times and the color of the secretions acquires a special intensity.

Yellow snot in a child

In children, an abundance of yellow snot means a sharp drop in 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 the fact that the yellow snot in a child literally flows in a stream and does not stop. In some cases, the snot becomes especially thick and does not allow the child to breathe freely. In this case, it is necessary to make them less thick and easier to exit. For such purposes, inhalations and washing the nasal cavity with saline solutions are best suited. The child's breathing will ease fairly quickly and it will become much easier to deal with a viral infection.

Yellow snot in an adult

Never snot in an adult does not appear for no reason. Initially, it seems that only an ordinary clear liquid comes out of the nose. But, after a few days, this minor symptom develops into a more impressive problem. Since the body has already begun an active fight against viruses. The mucous membrane of the nose swells strongly, breathing is very difficult and it seems that there is a foreign body in the nasal cavity, 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 here will no longer have an effective effect, but will only make breathing easier for a while. In addition, they can be addictive, against 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 and not get any complications.

Thick yellow snot

If at the first stages of the disease, both an exclusively transparent liquid runs from the nose of 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 active struggle of the body with 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 your nose is accompanied by rather loud sounds that do not give a special result. As you know, it is advisable to thin thick snot and this can be done both with the help of folk methods and drug treatment. In the second case, it is important to take into account addiction to drugs, which should be treated with extreme caution.

During this period, antibodies are produced in the baby's body that will fight bacteria and viruses, and mucous secretions are the body's defense.

Yellow snot in a child causes ambiguous actions in parents: some go to the doctor, others self-medicate, others wait for it to go away on its own.

To the question of parents: “Why yellow snot with blood?” can be answered as follows: the close location of the blood vessels to the surface of the mucosa causes some capillaries to burst with a sharp blowing of the nose, and blood enters the mucous secretions.

Yellow snot in a newborn

If yellow snot in an infant under one year old, then this is a serious cause for concern, since a runny nose in newborns does not proceed quite like in adults. First of all, this is due to the inability of children to get rid of the accumulated mucus in the nose on their own. The nasal cavity in young children is narrow and thin, so there is a quick blockage of the nasal passages.

Yellow snot in a newborn can cause severe swelling of the mucosa, which is fraught with a complete loss of breath. 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, as a stuffy nose does not fully feed on mother's milk.

It is highly undesirable to self-medicate, as this can suppress the immune system, and not help to 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 primarily due to the fact that children lead an active lifestyle:

go in for sports;

participate in competitions and olympiads;

attend various sections and circles.

But, along with this, it is necessary to understand that the children's body has not yet been fully formed and its immunity too. In order not to raise the question of how to stop snot in a child of school age, it is necessary to carry out the prevention of the common cold.
