Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The ear infection would need to be treated.
Ear infections can be treated with topical antibiotic drops or oral antibiotics, normally used for 7 days.
If there is associated pain then this can be treated with pain killers such as ibuprofen, naproxen or cataflam.
The vertigo will only resolve if the infection itself is treated.
There are medications that can temporarily decrease vertigo but would only be a temporary fix such as dramamine, meclizine, valium.
