Hi,

Sorry to hear about your kittens.

Besides keeping them warm, humidifying the air will help ease the congestion. 

But keeping them hydrated is the most important part.  If they cannot nurse or you cannot feed them with a bottle, than your vet could give them some subcutaneous fluids.

Keep the environment very clean as well to prevent reinfection.

You a warm wash cloth on the nose and eyes to remove secretions, but be careful not to burn their skin.
