Is Garlic Effective Yellow Puss In Eyes?

Hello, My son who is 11 months old is having yellow pus coming out of his eyes. He is my fourth child and this has indicated in the past with my others an ear infection. He is also running a slight fever. I cooked up and fed him half a bulb of garlic because it is such a good antibiotic. How much is too much? How much is too little to be effective?
