Hello and thank you for reaching out to PetCoach. Stupi may be having a flare up of a viral upper respiratory infection, such as herpesvirus. I recommend gently wiping away the eye and nasal discharge with a damp paper towel. You can also have Stupi stay in the bathroom while you shower to allow the steam to help clear her sinuses. You can also purchase a supplement called Viralys from chewy.com, which is a supplement that helps boost the immune system and can help cats overcome a viral upper respiratory infection. Here's a link to this supplement: https://www.chewy.com/vetoquinol-viralys-l-lysine-oral-gel/dp/102542?utm_source=google-product&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=f&utm_content=Vetoquinol&utm_term=&gclid=EAIaIQobChMInaHN7cXO4gIVS9bACh0d8wUJEAQYASABEgI95fD_BwE I hope this is helpful!
