Should I Be Worried For Kid Having Dark Green Mucus, Chalky White Stuff In Nose, Saliva In Mouth?

Hi my 3yr old was whining earlier when I walked in the room he had dark green mucus. Then I looked in his nose and had to get chalky white stuff out. It smelled like a chemical. The babysitter said she was watching him. He also sits with salvia in his mouth. And drools. His ok now watching tv and playing with his toy. I'm really worried. Please help!!

hello
dont worry, if he is watching tv and is playful then i dont think there is any cause of concern. however if the mucus discharge becomes foul smelling,or blood comes or he develops fever, then you must show your ENT doctor. thanks
