It is possible that it is worms... what was the worm treatment you used? did your vet give it to you? Have you spoken to the vet?

I will move this to Health & Nutrition for you

I agree most kittens are born with worms. I would contact your vet about this.
Worms are cyclical and both the existing worms and the eggs need to be killed in your cat's body.
