What dewormer is used?  The usual for kittens is to use a dewormer which takes roundworms, as kittens gets it form mommas, if momma wasnt properly dewormed.

For example, pyrantel poamate is typical and very good.

But, as the kitten has also fleas, it may have tapeworms too. As fleas are inbetween hosts for tapeworms.

So she should be dewormed with something which takes tapeworms (too).  Your vet does surely have suitable preparates.
Actually, we did not ask the vet about the medicine's name, will ask for it the next time we visit.

No more green stool, but it is softer. I plan to bring her to vet maybe next week, still looking for good vet nearby.

Yes she needs to play but so far she plays a bit rough. She is showing interest to 'high places' such as sofa, table, etc. Yesterday she found something new, there is an unused carpet roll in the room placed standing against the wall and above it there is a ventilation hole like 2.5 m above the floor, she climbed the carpet and on to the ventilation hole 4 times yesterday and the last one was around 11 pm. We came to know about this because she could not get down and meowed asking for help.
Be careful she doesn't get stuck. You can add plain canned pumpkin to her wet food. Might help with the stool.

How is the other?
