Something stuck up my sons nose?

I have a 2 year old and he usually smells lovely and sweet but he has an unpleasant smell around his nose and a brown or black and sometimes green occasional discharge from one nostril(nothing hideous). I have made him sneeze by letting him smell pepper but nothing, i have tried looking up it in the daylight or with a torch but i can't see much. He's very happy and doesnt seem to be having trouble breathing. What do you think?
I'm not clogging up caualty by going there as its not an emergency and hate hassleing my doctor if i can sort it . Any ideas on how you can flush it out (that is if there is something up there).
It could be from nothing, to a small bit of foam or food or who knows, he has older brothers and sisters so could of found anything!

    Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this: Sorry, giving or asking for medical advice is not permitted on this forum as it’s not what this site is about. While discussing medical insurance policies, cheaper ways to see consultants, cashback for alternative health treatments and how to get specific medication cheaper (legally) are all perfectly acceptable we ask you specifically not to discuss what to do in the event of certain medical problems (please see this rule on the Health Board). If you have any questions about this policy please email [EMAIL="abuse@moneysavingexpert.com"]!!!!!![/EMAIL].
