Hi,
As the name of the medicine is not mentioned above I can't tell you exactly whether it's a pain killer or an antibiotic. Secondly, the painless discharge could be due to the rupture of the boil present in the external ear. It would require cleaning of the ear and instilling of the necessary ear drops accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Naveen Kumar, ENT Specialist
