Relative has a Persian cat with really bad sinuses. Poor thing always sneezes and its eyes water. Is there any over the counter medicine that would help?

Why not actually go to a vet? Persians are known to have issues like that because of the smushed face.

Your cat likely has a mild upper respiratory infection that is like a human getting a cold. As long as the discharge is still watery and not thick or colored, it is probably just a viral infection that can not be treated effectively and requires time for your cat's immune system to deal with it. As long as your cat is still eating and drinking well and the discharge is thin and not colored, you may not need to see a veterinarian. If the discharge becomes thick and green or yellow, or if her appetite changes, she stops drinking or her litter box habits change, you should contact a veterinarian immediately. She may have a secondary infection in these cases that can be treated with antibiotics.

We let it loose. Turns out the cat was already neutered. SO and I looked like idiots at the vet
We're just feeding it now w/ other neighbors and trying to make it more friendly

Chronic infections with feline herpes virus may be treated with lysine.

Lysine for cats? And something I didn't add to the OP, the cat has been doing this for years.

Herpesvirus Infection of the Eye in Cats
L-lysine, which is an amino acid, has been found to interfere with the replication of FHV-1(Feline herpesvirus). L-lysine is administered orally

yes. it comes in many forms. there are even cat treats with lysine in them.
if the cat has been doing this for many years, it probably has a chronic infection, and lysine may help.

Herpesvirus Infection of the Eye in Cats
It might be this, but from the link it says this:
quote:
Feline herpesvirus (FHV-1) is the virus that causes rhinotracheitis in cats. FHV-1 usually infects young cats, but can remain dormant for years, and reappear if the cat is stressed, is on high doses of corticosteroids, has a feline leukemia virus (FeLV) or feline immunodeficiency virus infection (FIV), or there is local irritation or bacterial infection of the eye. The most common eye conditions caused by FHV-1 are conjunctivitis and keratitis (inflammation of the cornea).
It seems like this comes and goes. The cat has been doing this daily for years and has never had any issues other than sneezing and watering eyes. Jones's post seems to be on point.
