Take the kitten to the vet. Make an appointment immediately, for as soon as possible.
Symptoms such as these could indicate any number of things, and there is no way to tell without bringing the animal in for examination by a professional. Without seeing, feeling, and otherwise examining the kitten, a proper diagnosis cannot be made.
