Look inside and report back to me. There are mainly three types of ear infections some can be going on at the same time. Bacterial, fungal and mites. Mites ears will have coffee granual looking stuff in them, ivomec or permethrin will kill them. Bacterial and fungal can both be present with mites or alone. Fungal is treated with miconazole and bacterial with antibiotics. Either one will usually have red inflamed skin and sometimes runny discharge. The vet can swab to check.
Most antibiotics you can buy at your feed store as fish mox, it is the same amoxicillin you and I take or your vet would prescribe. Miconazole is found in athletes foot and female yeast infections medications both which can be bought over the counter.
Clean ears throughly with a soft cloth before any treatment.
Dogs on tick and flea meds like Nexgard or Simplica should not have mites as it kills them too. If your dog does have earmites you also need to treat it's surroundings. Remove any old bedding and spray with permethrin.
*when our dogs get to just running to much and not making many trees it is allergy related. And we will notice red irritation arounf the eyes along with discharge and typically sneezing. We've had them even develope sinus infections from it. Over the counter meds like zyrtec work magic but we've also had to get a couple of them shots over the years. Depo-medrol is usually the drug of choice.
A good vet check will help you get to the bottom just incase something more serious is going on.
Good luck and keep us posted,
Jen
