Unfortunately no, there are no OTC medications for Daisy. It sounds like she has an ear infection, and that can be caused by ear mites, yeast, or bacteria. The only way to treat it is to have a vet diagnose the cause and then prescribe the correct treatment. I would take her into a vet today or tomorrow. Best of luck.
