It sounds like your cat is experiencing some concerning symptoms, including swelling and discharge from the eye, along with pus and nasal discharge. These signs could indicate an eye infection, such as conjunctivitis, or possibly an upper respiratory infection. The presence of swelling and pus suggests that there might be a bacterial component involved, which could require antibiotic treatment.

At home, you can help by gently cleaning the area around your cat's eye with a warm, damp cloth to remove any discharge. Be sure to use a clean part of the cloth for each wipe to prevent spreading any potential infection. Keeping the area clean is important for your cat's comfort and health.

Given that these symptoms have persisted for a couple of days and involve both the eye and nasal discharge, it's crucial to monitor your cat closely. If you notice an increase in swelling, or if your cat seems uncomfortable, lethargic, or loses their appetite, it would be wise to consult a veterinarian. They can conduct a thorough examination and prescribe any necessary medications, such as antibiotics or eye drops, to help alleviate the symptoms.

If you have any further questions or need additional guidance, please feel free to reach out. Thank you.
