He has this swollen pouch just below the eye and has been sneezing and coughing for the last day. I am taking him to the vet today, but I just wanted to know if any of you pet lovers may have an idea of what is going on. He doesn't normally have allergies and he hasn't eaten much in the last day and will not drink any water either.

If a cat will not eat or drink, it is not allergies, it is an illness of some kind.
Hopefully your vet solved the problem.
The feral cats outside get eye infections...so I use the Terramycin Ointment to clear their eyes. However, they do not lose their appetite.
If they are not eating, they get to go to the vet.

Cats can get conjunctivitis just the same as humans can! He might have this, in which your vet will prescribe some sort of antibiotic.
He may also have an irritant, but that wouldn't cause the sneezing and lack of eating.
Most likely, it would be conjunctivitis.

My cat had sneezing and watery eyes. I toke him to the vets and he had cat flu. Please take you cat soon as they can die from cat flu. My cat got it while he was with his mother and noticed it the next day and if I did not go that day like the next he would have died. Please take you cat to the vet. I ts only fair on him. Good luck I do hope its nothing serious.

He may not normally have allergies but he may have developed them recently. Good luck at the vet! Hope it goes well!

My non-professional opinion, maybe a sinus infection. The vet will know best. As long as you do take him to the vet today, I'm sure kitty will be fine. :)

It sounds as though something is in his sinuses and causing an infection. It's probably a foxtail (a nasty weed that has seeds that bore into pets and cause an infection) or something like that, which can be removed.

Buy the cat some sudafed or allegra. It is obviously allergic to itself.

It would be best to go straight to the vet.
