Ok, thanks for the clarification.

Ibuprofen can be toxic in cats so I would discontinue the Motrin.

It sounds like this kitten probably has a respiratory infection. I of course cannot make a definite diagnosis without examining the kitten.

If you can trap the kitten and take it to a veterinarian, this would be the best option. If you cannot, continuing the amoxicillin will be the best course of action and hope for the best. A 3 month old kitten is likely to be about 3lbs and thus would need to get about 15mg of amoxicillin twice daily. Clavamox would be a better choice if you have access to it. Some of these infections are viral and caused by a herpes virus. Giving lysine powder (this can be obtained from a veterinarian or a nutritional supplement store) at 250mg in the food twice daily may provide some benefit.

That is about all you can do without having the kitten treated directly by a veterinarian. Make sure she has a warm dry place to rest while she recovers from the infection.
