Hi A street kitten came to my house with a wound from which water like substance coming. I am putting antiseptic power on wound but she is feeling pain. And I am feeding her buffalo milk mixed with water. What medicine should I give her and what to feed her? I live in India hyderabad and I don't know any hospital for cat here. And there is one animal hospital but they don't see cats. Please help me.

I would not put the powder on the wound. Keep it clean with warm water and dilute soap. If she has teeth she can start eating canned cat food or dry food soaked in water. If she is very young and still nursing (very tiny under 4 weeks), replacement kitten food would be better to bottle feed than buffalo milk. If she is eating well and growing every day, the wound should heal and she will hopefully do ok. There is no medicine I can advise you to give. Take the best care of her you can and good luck!
