Question: I had th flu a week ago and has left me with ear infection which is making me feel dizzy! Have been putting taking otomize ear spray in ear but still not better after a week. The dizziness is making me have panic attacks and making me anxious
Brief Answer:
Need vestibular suppresants
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Generally after a flu attack and if having dizziness it means to have affected middle ear and piled up secretions.
In my clinic I would have given cinnarazine or betahistine kind of medicines for five days. these are safe except for causing drowsiness.
These are prescription based medicines so please see doctor for it. The ear spray otomizne may not work.
