So sorry Monkey is having this issue. There isn't really anything you can give a kitten that small over the counter as far as medications are concerned. If you are stopping to sleep at a hotel you can put him in the bathroom and shut the door with a really hot steamy shower running. The steam will "nebulize" him and may make him feel better. Keep his eye and nose wiped off with a wet cotton ball. If cats can't smell they often won't eat. That is the best advice I can give you until you get to a vet. Hope this helps. Best wishes!
