Drooling can be a sign of pain, nausea, or problems with the mouth. Occasionally cats with upper respiratory infections that cause sneezing can have a virus (calicivirus) that can also cause ulcers in the mouth which could lead to drooling. I would recommend having Coco examined by a veterinarian - you can establish care with a vet and also have her mouth examined.
