I have a 12 week old kitten. She is Siamese and we have only had her for 3 days, but when we got her she had watery eyes and its was crusty just below the eyes. She sneezes every now and again, but idk if I should be concerned or not. I haven't tried wiping her eyes with warm water yet.

She probably has a cold if she is sneezing. You can try the warm compressed. If I were you, I would consult a vet, considering how young she is and the fact that if it is an eye infection, she could go blind if not treated.
This would be the perfect time to get the sweet girley into the vet and have her established, get all of her shots and check out her eyes. Hopefully it is just an allergy, but safety first!!!
Post back what the vet says!
PS, my friend had a Siamese for year and she was the sneeziest cat I have ever seen. It was cute, but I always felt bad for the kitty!!
She needs to see a vet immediately. Do you know if she has had any vaccinations? If you have any other pets, keep her isolated from them until she sees the vet. Hope this helps
You need to get her to the Vet right away. Viral eye infections can result in damage to the cornea. And that can be permanent. If neglected it can cause blindness or require removal in the worst cases.
I agree with everyone that you should make an appointment with a vet as soon as possible.
