Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 1 year and 11 months old | 5.51 lbs
My cat has something on his lip, he doesn’t want to eat and looks sad, also his eyes are watery and his nose runny, and he is sleeping more than usual. I don’t know if it is an infection in his mouth or a flu, or something else.

Porfirio looks pretty sick. The lesions on his mouth may be infected ulcers from a virus, allergic reaction or dental disease. The eyes being swollen could also be related to a virus or significant inflammation in the area. I recommend to have him seen by his veterinarian today if possible as I be he is in discomfort- think about when your sinuses have a lot of pressure. He will likely get treatment for a bacterial infection and possible viral as well. I hope this points you in the right direction. Please post again with any further questions.
