If it is blood or green, yellow mucous then yes but if he is eating and drinking fine you don't have to make it an emergency trip unless there is a nose bleed. Monitor his eyes because if they get a respiratory infection they can also get conjunctivitis

Don't believe them Your kitty needs vet care. A clinical exam will determine how bad this upper respiratory infection is. Blood coming from the nose is serious in a kitten, and could point to a fungal or severe bacterial and viral infection. This kitten will need prescription antibiotics. If you are able, take its temperature, it will likely have a fever. You will need to wipe the discharge from the nostrils reularly as kittens will not eat if they cannot taste the food. This little boy looks pretty miserable, so I do suggest you take him to a vet for an exam and treatment. Thank you for taking care of him!
