Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 26 days old
My kitten dipped her mouth into soapy water. So my kitten, Pimple, was getting her coat flea combed, and I use dish soap water to kill the removed fleas. I looked the other way for a minute to wash my hand and the next thing i know, Pimples has her mouth wet with the dish soap water. She's been sneezing a few times and still drinking her mother's milk regularly. I am very concerned about her safety ,

There is no reason to worry, a small amount of soap water will do her no harm. Soap water and combing is not enough to get rid of the fleas, I recommend using frontline spray which is the only safe product for such a young kitten.
