You are dealing with an upperresperitory problem , the kitten has an infection.
You need to take to the vets. he will probably put tje kitten on some CLAVAMOX this is an antibiotic that comes in liquid that has to be refrigerated, it comes with a plastic eye dropper.
If the kitten is also getting crusty eyes he may also put the kitten on TERRMYCIN EYE OINTMENT,
Depending on the age of the kitten this can be a potential life threatening cituation
GET THE KITTEN TO THE VET ASAP.
This starts out as a virus the only thing you may notice is lack of energy, sleeping more the usual, doesn't eat or eats very little. this lowers your cats immune system thus makes the cat succeptable for a secondary infecton It is out of the virul state now.
antibiotics do not treat the virus, nothing will it will only take care of the infection caused by the virs.
sources- Have delt with this problem many times.

I'm not a vet but I am guessing that she may have a cold. If she is sneezing and yellow fluid is coming out of her nose, she needs to be seen by a vet to make the definate determination. You don't want it to get worse, so take her very soon and they doc will probably give her some medicine to take and then she will be much better. also, make sure she is getting plenty of liquids to help flush it out of her system. I hope this helps. Good luck with the kitty.

Your kitten has an upper respiratory infection. She shouldn't be sneezing in the first place, let alone with snot :( The vet will probably give you antibiotics that you will need to administer twice daily for 10-14 days. But make sure you get to the vet!

it may be an upper respiratory infection (URI). it is inherited, and is very common in kittens and cats. but most infections are not life threatening. it may be a bacterial or viral cause. make sure the kitten starts getting vaccinations at about 8-9 weeks of age. vaccinations for these infections are the safest and sure way to know youre kitten is going to improve. contact youre vet. immediately. they may discourage antibiotics and just tell u to let youre kitten try to overcome the infection, because antibiotics may not respond to the virus. if the kitten stops eating or drinking the dehydration may make situations worsen. so to be on the safe side ask your vet. to give the kitten vaccinations immediately.

Call the vet. If they need to see the kitten they'll tell you, otherwise it'll put your mind at ease at least. If it is a cold it can turn into cat flu easily and you don't want that so it's better to call the vet just in case.

take the kitten to the vet! sounds like the kitten could have a sinus infection and needs treatment. kittens get sinus infections just like babies do, and they need medication to treat things like that just as humans do.

He could have some sort of resperatory infection. Call your vet and see if he needs an appointment. If you can't afford it, see if they can work something out with you for payments and assistance.
