My kitten sneezes after grooming. Is this normal or a concern?

Question

Hi there, my kitten lovebug has been going through an itchy ear situation lately. When we adopted her we had to go to the vet to get ear mites treated, with her ear mite free we had to bring her back due to her still itching. She's on drops now and it's not as bad. But now she is sneezing after she grooms herself. Is that normal? She is fully vaccinated but teething. Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Female | spayed | 4 months old | 11 lbs

It could be normal for her since often times when they groom they are getting allergens off their fur. If she does not have discharge from her nose and she is only doing it when grooming, I would just monitor it. However, if you are noticing discharge, or it becomes more frequent, I would take Love Bug to see her veterinarian as it could be allergies or and upper respiratory infection. Hope this helps!
