Explanation:

Careful, there's snot falling out of her/his nose, just look at him/her!

It would be much easier if you included the line before and after the one you're asking. It's very hard to guess like this. It could be someone making fun, or worried, etc.

Happy Holidays and good luck!

His/her nose is running/ he/she has a runny nose


Explanation:
I feel like I'm guessing, as there's not much context, but the term would generally be as above. "His/her nose is running" or "she has a runny nose". With further context it would be easier. It might be something like "Look! His/her nose is running", it depends on tone, register, target audience...
What country is this for, for example?
