You have no idea what you are talking about.

Ear infections can be very serious. I work in scuba diving and an ear infection directly impacts my income for weeks at a time.

Childhood ear infections can have a permanent impact and easily spread to sinuses and the jaw.

I would like to know what makes you think you are qualified to spread such nonsense.

You are right, but can we please start flagging bad medical advice on this site. Otherwise we might as well allow anti-vax posts.

In general we can't, because neither users nor moderators are in a position to judge bad medical advice. There are genuine medical experts on HN, but they only pop up occasionally.
