It's normal for kits up to a year or a bit longer to be heavier with
'baby' weight. Obesity is a different matter though.

Sneezing and itching sounds like it may be an allergic reaction to
something. For allergies, we use Claritin pediatric syrup orally once a
day at 0.1 - 0.2 of a cc. Check with your vet before using any allergy
products.

If it is allergies, try to find out what is causing it. Could be anything
or a number of things - litter, bedding, laundry soap or dryer sheets,
food, carpet, furniture fibers, weeds, flowers, grass, etc.

Healing hugs. tle
