Giving out dosages would be practicing medicine without a license.
I've seen many an ear infection & many a lancing. When there really is an ear infection it has to be lanced because the material inside that lump is very thick & cheese like. It won't clear up with just meds only, it needs cleaning out.
It's not stressful when it's done correctly because it should be done under anesthesia.
In most cases Baytril is prescribed after the lancing & then the turtle should be fed foods that are high in vitamin A to help prevent this from happening again.
Your vet could contact other vets through the private links for DVM use only websites such as VIN or the AVMA if he/she needs a consult.
Many vet schools have exotic DVMs on staff, a vet could pick up the phone & call one of them too. Usually they will speak to another vet.
If you get it done right & do it soon it should clear up fairly quickly.

Good luck!
