This is probably an upper respiratory infection. it's very common in cats and is very contagious to other cats as well. It is treated with oral antibiotics for about 2 weeks (Not baytril). if left untreated many cats will end up blind or even die from the disease. I advise going to your vet asap to start the treatment right away.
