I have been on neomycin drops and amoxicillin fir a few days for a outer ear infection. ut still getting discharge only at night no pain what's goin on?

Still normal: A bit of drainage is still normal if you are just a few days into treatment. That's why you need to continue your medications until they are finished. On rare occasions, you may need ENT to clean out some of that debris, but usually not considered until you have finished your course of medication. If the pain is gone, sounds like you are making appropriate progress.
