Of course it could get worse, and it probably will without treatment. this condition also known as "snuffles" is caused by a bacterial infection, it needs to be treated with antibiotics for 21 days and usually does not resolve without treatment. i recommend taking Gemini to the vet ASAP in order to get it treated.
