Advice How to calm a rescued kitten?

We currently kept him in a bedroom, since he has fleas and we already have a recently adopted adult cat. He is continuously meowing like in the video, if not patted and sitting down, so he can sleep on lap. And we have to sit with him for this long time nor he is letting us sleep at night. It seems he is very unsettled and missing his littermates or mother maybe. We found him in a reserved forest area with his littermate and dogs. Although we didnt find his mother anywhere. So we are thinking should we return him to his environment where we found him.
Update: We found his caretaker, he was out that day. This kitten is 2 months old, has no littermate and rescued when his mother died after giving birth. He is used to being alone and sleep away on his own space. Also he is a fighter, how he managed to fight his health issues without his mother.
Now the kitten is making progress today, yesterday he had diarrhea, today is a progress, sleeping on the warm pad taking 1-1 hr naps, was dehydrated its better now. Though he is only seeping water with food in it. Crying less than yesterday but still we don't know why he is still crying after giving food too. Due to his diarrhea situation and food change, we dont want to load him more.
Also we are going to change the vet now, she doesn't seem to be much helping, when being completely clueless to animal care.
But a bad news is he is not interested in touch now. No sleeping in my palms, no pats, only food and scratches🥺
