She probably has a respiratory infection which is really common in kittens, especially unvaccinated and uncared for ones. The antibiotics ought to clear it up.

I would keep in her in a small area...like a hard pet carrier, large box, crate, or small exercise pen. Put a litterbox in there with low sides so it is easy for her to crawl in. She should pick up on the litterbox quickly if you start putting her in there. Also, if she's got teeth you can start feeding her food. You can get kitten food and mix it with some kitten formula to get it soft for her. If she can't eat that, you might have to bottle feed for another week before she's ready to eat real food. Be sure to take a warm, most cloth or cotton ball and rub her bottom to help her go to the bathroom. They usually start going on their own about this age, but stimulation there will help with that too.
