There is not an over the counter medication you put but you can try to call your vet to see if they are able refill any medicines if he was seen recently until you can get him. If not they do make ear cleaners you can get from the vet or a pet store without a prescription. These can help rinse the ear and keep the wax and debris from sticking and dilute out the bacteria and yeast until you can get him seen
