So many times you get yellow nasal discharge after common cold. This may leads to sinus infections. This secretion goes to your lungs during sleep to give lung infection. Your doctor gives you a course of antibiotic for this. Here is another method and you do not have to use the antibiotics. For this you have to purchase the normal saline bottle (0.9 %) from pharmacy. Take little of this solution in small cup. Add to it little toothpaste. Say 1 cm long for 50 ml. Toothpaste must be of gel type. So it will dissolve completely in the solution with the help of spoon. Then add saline solution to fill it to top level. Then hold this to one nostril. Close the other nostril by by index finger. Now suck the solution through one nostril. This will require little practice. The solution will enter the nose and throat. You will have a little cough as the little solution enters the larynx. Please do not do it forcibly or you may have much more cough. Then forcibly drive out the saline. The nasal secretions will be out. Repeat the procedure once more. Do the same thing from other nostril also. Your secretions are out in no time. You may have to repeat the procedure if required twice a day for one or two days. Please prepare the solution fresh each time. Here you have to use the 'normal saline' and 'not' a plane water. Otherwise you may get the sinus infection. More salt will irritate your nasal mucosa. You add the toothpaste to reduce the surface tension of the solution. So that sticky secretions will be out in no time. Only side effect is that this solution may enter the maxillary sinus and after few hours the little solution may come out without warning to you. At times making your situation embarrassed. This method must not be used in case of small children. For them the medical scientist will come out with the proper solution. So then you have to put few drops in the nostril of the child. Child may be made to sneeze by putting small thread in the nostril and irritating it. So that secretions will come out.

Green and yellow snot is mucus mixed with dead inflammatory cells; the color is hard to correlate with a particular inflammatory cell, as the majority of them will be dead neutrophils. Colored snot tends to indicate an infection in the nasal cavity, although a slight yellow color to snot can be normal. Snot changing colors from clear to green to yellow means you were free of infection, then you had an upper respiratory infection, then it was cleared up by your body's defenses.
