Hi,
It seems that he might be having acute otitis media and now it bursts open and pus coming out.
Continue with antibiotic Amoxicilin and he will get improvement.
He can be given Amoxicilin, Clauvunic acid combination antibiotic or Levofloxacilin as well.
Important is clean the ear with cotton bud and put antibiotic ear drops.
Ok and take care.
