I think my kitten just cought a cold last night, he started to sneeze a little bit do these weird cough sounds, and he's been doing them all morning. The vet is a long long drive away from here so I can't really take him right now, so I was wondering if anyone knows what to do to help him out? Do I keep him warm, buy him something for the cold? it makes me sad everytime he makes those noises

auw poor soul,
is he vaccinated?
With kittens its so easy for their health to deteriorate fast! i really wouldn't want to risk his health by not taking him to the vet..& i certainly don't trust over the counter products either...
Keep a close eye on him & if he does get worse please take him to the vet

No, he's not vaccined yet, we're taking him next week for his 2 vaccines (it's a way too long drive
no car).

But I think he's getting better, he ate food (I think he drank water as well), he's stopped sneezing and coughing (maybe one or two coughs in a while) not as frequently as earlier or last night and he's playing with his tail!

I hope this means he's getting better! :/

You'd better get that kitten to the vet now. Don't wait a week.
The cough can be a sign of a serious illness and it won't get better!
Consider this an emergency situation. You've got a holiday weekend coming up and no one will be around, so please go now!

Your kitten really needs to be seen by a vet. He might have an upper respiratory infection and will need medication. This is a serious disease for kittens even if they seem to be doing okay.
