My cat has asthma, but now has sneezing, runny nose, watery eyes. Why?

Question

I took my cat Rhiannon to the veterinarian last week because it seemed like she had asthma. She still had tons of energy was still eating and drinking fine as well as using the bathroom regularly. The vet took an x-ray did some tests everything was fine except she had asthma but it wasn't bad so they just gave her some steroids. However now she has watery eyes a runny nose and is sneezing I don't know if she caught something at the vet or if maybe we miss diagnosed her. What should I do?

It is possible that Rhiannon has developed an upper respiratory tract infection that has taken time to develop. Or that she has both an infection and asthma. If those symptoms weren’t there at the time of the appointment, there would be no way to make that diagnosis. Most of these infections are viral and just need to run their course. If she has a poor appetite, trouble breathing, or a rectal temperature over 103, then you should definitely contact the vet. https://www.google.com/amp/s/mobile.petcoach.co/amp/article/5-things-you-should-know-about-feline-respiratory-infections
