Some good companies will give you sick days if you're ill while on holiday.
As he's been signed off, I believe it would be illegal for him to work (he'd not be covered by his company's insurance)
Can't see too much of a problem taking a holiday while legitimately off sick (why even tell the company?)
The question might be, if he's got earache, how safe is it for him to fly?

If the infection is affecting his co-ordination, and he does a manual job etc, then I can't see any difference between him lying on the sofa at home or lying on a sunlounger abroad. Might actually help him recover quicker.
Also, most companies have insurance to cover sick pay, so it would probably be more financially benificial to let him have the time as sick
