Kitten sneezing, yellow discharge after move. Is it stress-related?

Question

My kitten got a URI on 13th Aug, after which her antibiotics started until 23rd. She seemed fine for 3 days and now we moved to a new place and she has started to sneeze again, mucous sometimes, she's sniffing too. Her nose is wet after the sneeze, checked with a tissue. Her eyes sometimes have yellow discharge. I checked her rectal temperature 99.4. she's eating fine and pooping too. I'm worried if the URI is still there. Is it recommended to give herbal medicine for URI? Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Mediumhair | Female | spayed | 3 months and 23 days old | 2 lbs

Stress can sometimes trigger chronic URI symptoms in cats, as the virus tends to remain dormant until stress or another illness triggers it. If she doesn't have a fever, the discharge is clear, and she's still eating and drinking, continuing supportive care such as providing plenty of food and water and removing any discharge with a wet washcloth should be fine. If she does have a fever, stops eating or drinking, the discharge changes color, or she seems wheezy or raspy, bringing her back in for additional treatment is best.
