A cortisone cream does not treat a fungal infection, that requires anti-fungal medication. Ear infections in cats can also be caused by bacteria or ear mites, so the cause of her ear problem needs to be diagnosed in order to treat it properly. Gilligan needs to see a vet to have her ear problem properly diagnosed and treated. Please do not continue to put any more cortisone cream on her ear, and make an appointment with a vet asap.
