Hello and thank you for using Pet Coach to address your concern! What you are describing sounds like Felix may have an upper respiratory infection causing these symptoms. There is not much at home you can give him to treat this. Many times these infections are secondary to a viral infection such as the herpes virus. You can start by giving Duralactin & Lysine supplement that comes in a tube for cats. You can find this at your local pet store or if you search online. If the symptoms are not improving or worsening, I would strongly suggest you get Felix to see a veterinarian for an exam and further treatment. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have other questions. I am also available to talk to by phone or text based consultation.
