I hope Pippi is feeling better today! Theres not a ton of options at home to make her feel better. She needs to get medications and possibly a steroid or some other anti-inflammatory to treat the ear infection. You did well by cleaning out the ear. That probably gave her some relief. Gently massaging the ear can also help. You can also apply a cool compress to the external portion of the ear. The doctor will be able to provide medication that can really get Pippi the most comfortable the fastest. I hope this helps!
