I would not recommend giving your cat aspirin as it could do more harm than good. The best thing you can do at home for Nino is to make sure the area is cleaned thoroughly to prevent infection. You could also put some topical antibacterial ointment on it (like Neosporin). If you feel like Nino is very painful and/or the ear seems infected he probably needs to be seen by the vet.
