What you are giving him is not an antibiotic, it's an antifungal and the problem is, most likely, not in his beak but in his crop. But sweet stuff is bad for yeast (it makes the fungus grow) and babies cannot be fed just fruits or juice (there is no protein in them) and he'll end up with diarrhea from eating just that so what you need to do is buy some hand-feeding formula and feed him that three times a day with a feeding syringe or a spoon (be careful not to make him aspirate it) . Please do not waste any time getting it because this little guy hasn't had a good meal in too many days and I am sure he is already weaker than he should be for it. Also, take into consideration that only birds with depressed immune systems get fungal infections (if they are strong and healthy, they don't because their own body fights it) so he needs food asap and rich food at that or he might get so weak that he won't feed at all and die.
