Asking for diagnosis

Momo, my cat, is sneezing and acting like he is trying to get rid of
something in his throat/nostrils. The vet took an X-ray of his lungs
and chest and found "shadows" around them, and concluded that there is
infection.

So now my cat is on medication from the vet but isn't getting better
(or may be not getting better fast enough). He has been on antibiotics
for a week. Now the vet has given him another kind of antibiotics plus
an expectorant but I feel he is as clueless as I am about what is
happening.

Anyone has had similar cat problems? What could be happening?

Jason we are not vets Sounds like the infection is not being cured. I
would call another vet for another opinion

Get copies of the x-rays/bloodwork/other records and see another vet
for a second opinion. It's possible he might not even have an
infection if the medication isn't helping.

But of course you do not know that no one reading this group is a
veterinarian, Madden.

There is another group that might be worth asking.
