Sneezing Cat

Question
Mt cat started sneezing a couple days ago, and now has a warm nose. He has been licking fairly regularly. He is eating ok and not lathargic..Should I take him to a vet, or are there an over the counter option?

Answer
There are no over the counter options for cats. Cats are very sensitive to drugs and many can harm or kill them.

If he starts to run a fever then you should take him in. A warm nose means nothing. His ears being hot is a better indicator. Cats cannot go over two-three days without eating so if he stops, call the vet.
Sneezing can be from a local irritant also, not only viruses.

What is his vaccination history?
