What Causes Awful Smell From Infant's Nose?

Hi, my baby boy is 6 months old. There is this embarassing bad smell coming from his nose, which has being going on for 3 weeks now. i just stopped breast feeding. Could it be caused by the formula milk i'm feeding him? Should i consult a doctor?



He also sweats a lot. Is this normal?



Thank you for your time.
