Someone dropped off a kitten about 10 weeks old that had crusty eyes and a very snotty nose. Vet recommended lysine and antibiotic. She continues to gain weight and is playful and social, but her eyes and nose continue to run with a light green discharge. Any recommendations for the discharge other than Little Noses and warm face washes?

Those things are good, but if she is still having light green discharge, I would think she might need another round of antibiotics.

It's important that she continue eating and drinking well.  Sometimes with a stuffy nose their appetites decrease since they cannot smell their food as well.  You can put her in a steamy bathroom to help clear out the stuffiness if necessary, heat wet stinky food too, if necessary, since that will bring out the smell

Thank you. So far her appetite has been good. We have had to spend a few sessions in the steamy bath. Mostly it's the constant snot. Lol. Hopefully she will recover in time
