The mucus tightly clogs the nasal passages and thereby "preserves" the pathogenic microorganisms, preventing them from spreading further.But the phenomenon has the opposite, negative side - shortness of breath, provoking a slight oxygen starvation and many other unpleasant symptoms:
- restless sleep;
- loss of appetite;
- whims;
- complaints of a headache.
Increased production of mucin is triggered by factors such as hypothermia and allergic reactions to various food and respiratory irritants, so their appearance is mainly seasonal, exacerbating in spring and autumn.

Opinion of Komarovsky
Simple, useful and practical advice of the pediatrician Evgeniya Komarovskiy has often made life easier for parents and children and helped to bring the recovery closer. The reason for the appearance of dense excretions doctor calls the effect of allergens or the active activity of viruses and bacteria. In this case, green thick snot is an unequivocal and irrefutable sign of a bacterial infection. However, this does not mean that the child must be treated with antibiotics: the bacterial rhinitis is quite successfully treated by rinsings and warming up the nose. To make sure that the treatment is moving in the right direction, you need to monitor the color and degree of viscosity of the snot. If they gradually become lighter, become white and begin to leak, this indicates that the body is defeating pathogenic microorganisms.

Special attention should be paid to walks: the doctor emphasizes that a child with any runny nose should breathe as much as possible clean and moist air. However, walks are permissible only when the child's body temperature does not exceed 36.6 ºС, and on the street - not below 0 ºС.To prevent the spread of infection, during the treatment should avoid children's groups and try to walk more in parks and other green areas, away from the congestion of people.
