Calling doctors office tomorrow but in the meantime.. yellowish discharge coming out of ear + swollen earlobe?

Eren

My poor baby has had a rough 6 weeks since he’s been born. I noticed his earlobe got swollen and it was wet , when i used a lamp I could see he had a pretty big amount of discharge coming out. I googled it and the discharge it says most likely caused by an ear infection however the swollen earlobe throws me off ,, any suggestions
