If I could recommend an excellent flea comb, this one is fantastic. We have three of them at our house. It’s double rowed, so the fleas are usually caught inside the brush so at that point you just dunk the entire brush in warm soapy water and they’ll die pretty much instantaneously. Now the one exception is if your dog is long haired, I suppose it would depend on what type of fur they have (coarse, thick, etc) but because the teeth of the comb are so close together, it catches knots very easily. But for short haired pets I can’t recommend it enough. I’ve also found the pill Fastcaps (or Capstar which is a more expensive version, virtually the same thing though) is great if it’s really bad. 30 minutes after your pet swallows the pill, it’ll kill any fleas on them. You can tell it’s working because they bite down as they’re dying, so your dog might start acting a little crazy for a bit or be completely calm, I’ve seen both reactions out of my animals. Be sure to vacuum often as well. You wouldn’t believe how many of those little buggers hide in the carpets.
Also holy crap I didn’t mean for that wall of text, I guess that goes to show how many run ins we have with those little demons, living in a warm climate and all.
Understandably! I can, at least, recommend the diatomaceous earth. This is the brand I've used before, but it's a little on the pricey side compared to the others. As far as flea combs, here's one that's highly reviewed.
Also, the reviews I was reading mentioned a cool idea--if you have a vacuum, use it frequently (which I'm sure you know) but for extra protection, put one of those cheap flea collars in the vacuum bag.
But I see /u/sekmaht has offered some Frontline and advice. Hope this gets resolved and your kitty feels better soon!
edit: feeling silly, thought I was responding to OP! Going to leave it, though :)
It's a comb-my chihuahua loves this routine as the teeth get through both of his coats. He looks forward to this every day.

Furbuster comb below is the best! It really captures the silky fine bunny hair that otherwise slides rigth though due to the rubberized insert.

if you need a smaller one also for the face and feet, you can improvise. But this flea comb https://www.amazon.com/SAFARI-Flea-Double-Teeth-Prevention/dp/B0002RJMAK/ref=lp_17462719011_1_1?srs=17462719011&ie=UTF8&qid=1539195229&sr=8-1 and just insert/overlap a wider rubber band between the teeth like the comb above.
