NO.

only a vet should give a dog penicillen for any infection.

Experienced breeders under vet guidance might be allowed to but it is inappropriate for a layman to give (or even obtain) antibotics to animals.

This is probably inflammatory exudate, which may be due to a bacterial infection, a yeast infection or an ear mite infestation. Your veterinarian can do a simple ear swab test to see what type of infection or infestation your dog may have. Based upon that, your veterinarian will give you the medications and instructions to get the infection cleared up.
