It sure sounds like he may have an upper respiratory infection (URI). Does he go outside or is he purely inside? Did he have similar problems when he was a kitten? and is the discharge one or both nostrils? Other things that can mimic an URI are deep dental infections, polyps, sinusitis, fungal infections and tumors ( this would be rare). I would suggest that he does get checked over by your vet so that he can be prescribed some meds to help
