Some info on ear mites.

It probably wasn't ear mites that you saw on the tissue as they are very
small. Not to say that the kitten doesn't have ear mites but it would
take a
microscopic examination of wax removed from the ear to confirm the
diagnosis.

Did the vet check the kitten for ear mites when you were there?

What products exactly did they send you home with?

Don't know about ear mites, but the best products on the market for fleas
are Advantage and Stronghold. both available only from your vet.
Stronghold also handles roundworm. Spot-on liquid to the back of the neck
once a month. Brilliant stuff, never seen a flea in this house :-)

PS *NEVER* buy a drop-on preparation in a store or anywhere except from a
vet, you don't know what's in some of them...
