Does he have a foul odor about his head?

What you describe could be Coryza which will be treated with antibiotics and a manual removal of the accumulated pus.

What are you trying to treat? What are the symptoms? A respiratory disease or symptoms? Antibiotics can be used best if you know what disease they have, and that might require testing. There are at least 8 or more respiratory diseases from viruses, bacteria and mycoplasmas, fungus, and others. Some antibiotics may be found online from pigeon or fish sites, but it helps to either describe all of your symptoms or get testing. Treating a virus or fungal disease with antibiotics is worthless. MG may respond to Tylosin, Denagard, oxytetracycline, enrofloxacin, or some others. Coryza may respond to sulfa antibiotics. Almost all of the serious diseases are brought in by carriers, make carriers of the whole flock, and are lifelong. Symptoms may clear, but may come back, and they infect other birds.
