My cat's ears are red and bumpy after mite treatment. Can Petco help?

Question

Chubby had ear mite when we adopted him a month ago. We got the medication from our vet and finished 10 day treatment. His ears became clean a week ago. When I check his ears today, I noticed the redness and bumps on both side of his ears(See pics). What is this? if he needs a treatment, can we get the medication from Petco? Thanks.

It looks like Chubby has been scratching his ears or that he has an infection of the outside of the ear. Since he was just treated for mites I’d recommend rechecking with your vet so they can see if he still has mites or an infection in his ear canal. There is not an over the counter medication that I would recommend using.
