My kitten has a sinus infection and won't eat. Should I syringe feed?

Question

Hi, I have a kitten about 3 months old and he has a really bad sinus infection according to the vet that we went to (and we got some Amoxicillin for the kitten). This sinus infection is creating so much mucus that it's dripping from his jaws and due to his clogged nose he isn't eating. Would it be best to Syringe feed him? And how many times a day would I have to do it? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 3 lbs

Yes, you can syringe feed Chewy, but it's extremely serious that he has mucus dripping from his jaws. He may need intensive veterinary care to treat his severe infection, and I would take him back into a vet immediately.
