Take your poor kitty to the vet. It may just be sick. Or if it is dying, it may be in pain and need some medication to be comfortable. Either way, you should seek professional opionion!

Good luck and keep us updated!

It probably has an infection, which is very common in little kittens. I would call a vet, more than likely it needs antibiotics like clavomox. Try feeding it kitten formula like KMR from a bottle or needleless syringe. If it is away from the mama it also needs a heating pad, they don't make their own heat when they are that little. With a lot of TLC and probably antibiotics, it might make it.
