There are no over the counter pain treatments for cats and you should never use any human medications on your cat without talking to your veterinarian.

I would be hesitant to put any ointments on it as your cat would likely lick it off and could cause her paw to become more irritated in the process. It may be helpful to switch to a litter like the newspaper pellets for a few days to help prevent litter from sticking to her wound.
