I suggest you can use the Ornacycline- which I used that for my finches before by put little bit in the water, I use it for healthy birds too.

It is best to know why your little bird is sick as it will help you choose the best medicine for it.
Ornacycline would seem like you best general broad spectrum anitbiotic.
Erythromycin (I'm not familiar with) but it states its for acute bacterial infections. So its rather specific and probably stronger than a broad spectrum.
Ronex is for protozoa infections.

Your boy could be suffering from any number of things as his symptoms are quite common to a few diseases. So perhaps a professionals advice would be best and you could help you little one get better faster. In the past I've tried self diagnosis, but inevitably a vet is needed or someone that can give you good experienced guidance on recognizing symptoms, if a vet is not around. The cost of the vet is usually out-weighted by the total cost of all the meds you purchase and if they are unsuccessful the cost of replacing your bird. You can do more harm than good just administering a stream of meds in the hope one would work.

I find the BC's usually hide their ailments well, so you don't have much time to give them aid when they do show signs.

Best of luck.
