Yes, if you are noticing a sudden change in his behavior, I recommend to have him examined. He could be experiencing an infection or have something trapped in his nose. The vet can give him medications to soothe his mucus membranes and this may help him to feel better and to lessen the physical symptoms. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
