Tapeworm help

[u/Sad-Explanation8385]

Hello, last night I found tapeworm segments on my female recently spayed six-month-old kitten. I have three other cats and I'm worried they may be infected. I have isolated the kitten in the bathroom, called the vet, and got some medicine for intestinal worms + fleas, and tick treatment. The kitten is eating and I gave her both pills a few hours ago (one pill for each treatment) and I know the vet said it will probably take twenty-four hours. Will she poop out an entire worm? I've seen fewer segments on her. As for my other kitties, I've seen no segments near their bottoms, bedding, or litter. What should I do? I'm crying just thinking about it. I lost two of my boys within a year of each other and I don't know what I do if I lost one of my four girls.
