worming
The kittens should be seen by a vet and wormed by a vet. It is dangerous to
worm them yourself. Also, please purchase a flea comb and comb the fleas from the kittens. Kittens are fragile and the fleas will debilitate them. Also, please have your cat spayed. There are too many unwanted cats and kittens already. Also, your cat will be healthier spayed.

I agree the kitten should be dewormed by a vet. I know that that seems to be a broken record here that when anyone asks advice they are told to "See a vet" but that is the best advice a person can give most of the time. Kittens are to fragile IMO to be given any OTC meds fpr anything. They should not be treated with flea meds but as mentioned earlier be combed with a flea comb.
