Brief Answer:
Further details needed.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. However, I would insist you not to apply HHsone. Cetaphil is a moisturizing lotion which is not relevant in this context. So, in a nutshell it would be improper to apply this combination. However, in order to guide you about what needs to be done I would need further details.

Please let me know what makes you think that he has some infection. I need to know the complaints. Also mention if he seems to have a cough and cold and if there is a discharge from the ears.

Let me know and I would guide you accordingly. I will await your response.

Regards
