Expert Answer

If a cat’s runny nose and sneezing are caused by a cold, you can give medications containing amoxicillin-clavulanate. Cats easily catch colds in cold weather, showing sneezing and nasal discharge. Oral anti-inflammatory drugs usually relieve the symptoms, along with keeping the cat warm, and recovery typically takes a few days.

If the symptoms never improve, a viral infection is likely. Take the cat to the veterinary hospital for testing, confirm the cause, and then provide targeted treatment.
