Brief Answer:
She can take Vertin again, exercises also can be continued.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
In my opinion, your mother, since she is in a remote area and is facing mild dizziness again, should take Vertin twice/daily for one week and once daily for another week.
She can also continue with the Brandt Daroff exercises in order to improve the dizziness. If the symptoms persist, then a reevaluation by the Neurologist is necessary.
Hope you found the answer helpful. Let me know if I can assist you further.
