There are may things that could cause this. If you could send a picture I may be able to give you more detailed recommendations. If it looks like a clear discharge you could try Benadryl twice a day. If the discharge is green or crusty, he likely needs to see your vet. Your vet will be able to look up in the nose to see what is going on or recommend additional diagnostics if needed. Your vet will be able to get him started on the proper treatment plan as needed. I hope this helps.
