A Stray School Cat Has Had Stomatitis a Long Time; Now It Suddenly Started Sneezing

How to tell feline rhinotracheitis from a common cat cold?
Rhinotracheitis is a viral contagious disease; a cold is from chills and upper-airway inflammation. Early signs overlap (sneezing, cough, runny nose, tears), so a blood test distinguishes them. Later rhinotracheitis adds gum and eye inflammation.

Why Is My Cat Sticking Out Its Tongue?

What Medicine for a Cat That Drools a Lot?
Don't medicate a drooling cat blindly — find the cause first. Oral foreign bodies (bone, fish bone) need removal then antiseptic spray; stomatitis needs mouth spray, anti-inflammatories, dental cleaning or extraction; pharyngitis needs vet amoxicillin and soft food, or IV fluids if it won't drink. Rinse the mouth if a strong-tasting substance caused it.
My cat keeps drooling clear mucus, sneezing, and squinting
Based on your description, the clear mucus and sneezing may indicate allergies, oral disease, or calicivirus infection. Check the mouth for redness, ulcers, or odor; if present, it is likely oral disease and you can use an antibacterial oral spray.
My cat keeps sticking out its tongue, drooling, won’t eat, and is listless
Drooling and not eating in a cat may be from oral disease such as stomatitis or mouth ulcers, or pharyngitis. Early pharyngitis shows slow eating, later difficulty eating, drooling, vomiting, pharyngeal congestion, and pain. For pharyngitis, give pet-specific anti-inflammatory medication and soft or liquid food; for stomatitis, use a pet oral antiseptic spray and address the cause with good care.
