It is likely that Curdles has an upper respiratory infection, which is pretty common in kittens. He needs to see a veterinarian so that an appropriate medication can be prescribed. Clavamox is often used for routine symptoms, but the eyes should be checked immediately for corneal ulcers, as these are quite complicated and need specific eye medications.
