My dog's ear has fluid and is raw. Is it an infection? Vet or OTC?

Question

My dog seems to have fluid in her ear( can hear when you rub her ear) and her ear is raw from digging. Are there any over the counter treatments we can try or does this call for a vet visit? Pet's info: Dog | French Bulldog | Female | unspayed | 9 months and 4 days old | 13 lbs

You can try an OTC ear infection medication from a pet store, but if Mia is already digging at the ear and causing trauma, it would be best treated by a vet to avoid it getting mistreated for a few days. She should also wear an e-collar until the itch is controlled to avoid further self-trauma.
