My 3-month-old kitten is sneezing and losing fur near her mouth. Vet?

Question

My kitten is 3 months old and sneezes a bit. She also has some hair off near her mouth - small areas. Is she okay? Should I bring her to see vet? Pet's info: Cat | British Shorthair | Female | unspayed | 4 months and 8 days old | 15 lbs

This is probably an upper respiratory infection. it's very common in young cats and is very contagious to other cats as well. It is treated with oral antibiotics for about 2 weeks. I advise going to your vet asap to start the treatment.
