Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This is possibly due to an upper respiratory infection. This is something that if confirmed, your veterinarian could prescribe antibiotics. I recommend that you have him evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Best of luck!
