    If you get some wet tissue and gently wipe it away

    With all these posts you are making, you really should find the funds to take these kittens to the vet, or give them to someone who can.

    It could have a flea allergy, or it could be something more serious..
    You are doing the right thing with the warm cloth...
    You could try soaking a tea bag I a cup of warm water and using that with the cloth, it is a home remedy for humans when they have conjunctivitis, I'm not sure how effective it will be on a kitten but it can't hurt.

    It was worth a try...
    Just keep up with the warm cloth and water for a day or two and if there isn't an improvement you may need to book a vets appointment for some antibiotics.
