New puppy has itchy ears after fleas. Is this normal? How to relieve?

Question

I just adopted a blue heeler 9wk old puppy. I quickly noticed she was covered in fleas- I don't have enough characters to go through all the measures I took for the fleas but I think I have it taken care of. She has still been itching a lot especially at her ears so I thought she had flea bites around her ears and then I looked inside her ears and saw this(attached pics). So my question is- is this normal for a puppy's ears to look like this- and is there any way for me to relieve the itching? Pet's info: Dog | Blue Heeler | Female | 2 months and 4 days old | 9 lbs
