Poor baby. He could be suffering from allergies or a upper respiratory infection (URI). He could also have an ear infection or ear mites. You can try Benadryl to see if that helps. See link below. If he isn’t improving, I would have your vet take a look at him. Your vet will be able to determine if there is any type of infection or mites in his ears and get him started on the proper ear meds. They will also be able to get him on some antibiotics for his URI if needed. I hope this helps. https://www.petcoach.co/canigive/cat/benadryl/
