Jellico, welcome to Pet Talk.
If Belang is not getting over his cold, then I would visit the vet or another vet, and find why he is not getting better. Usually this kind of sickness may last for weeks before it becomes better. It is not usually fatal, but it is very discomforting to your pet. I know how difficult it can be trying to make a cat take a pill. What I have found that is easiest is to take the pill and mix it in with some favorite cat food, such as tuna. They will usually eat it without any problems. But if the pill is too big, then they may eat the food and leave the pill. But any way, if Belang is getting over this sickness, then be thankful for his recovery. He may or may not get it again, much depends on the weather and what bacteria and viruses it has within it. Keep him warm and allow him all the sleep he wants and make sure he eats. Possibly you may have to purchase something other than dry food, such as canned meaty cat food, in order to get him to eat adequately.
I have 3 furkids that all have colds. I have been giving them amoxicillin, a pink liquid, that they usually take without too much fuss, and they appear to be getting better.
