Expert Answer

A runny nose and sneezing in a cat is very likely a cold, and you can give oral medicine containing amoxicillin-clavulanate. Cats easily catch colds in cold weather and with big temperature swings, so watch the weather and keep the cat warm.

If already sick, keep giving cold medicine and warmth, and the cat usually recovers within a few days. If symptoms never ease, consider whether the cat is infected with mycoplasma, chlamydia or similar germs, and take it to a vet.
