My dog's green nasal discharge returned from one nostril. What's next?

Question

My dog , Jack Russell cross, has a green nasal discharge from right side of nose, most noticeable on night bedding, smells a little and he sneezes if excited, or temperature changes outside etc. He was tested for klebsiella pneumonia and given Enrofloxacina antibiotics but course was interrupted, for four days, they made him sick, and although after taking a gastro mix was better, nose got better but has now returned. Any suggestions as to what next? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Male | neutered | 3 years old | 20 lbs

If the nasal discharge continues, especially only on one side, I would be concerned about a possible foreign body in his sinus cavity or even something like cancer. The next step if not already done would be lab test, potential he a CT scan of his skull or/and even a rhinoscopy where we put a camera up his nose to examine for anything. Your veterinarian can determine with you which of those steps would be best suited are even available in your area.
