Brief Answer:
Try medication and advice as mentioned
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Meniere's disease is associated with vertigo, ear fullness and hearing loss.
The management depends upon involvement.
Initially anti vertigo medication like promethazine can be tried with diuretic like lasix.
Low salt diet should be taken.
Steroid use and surgical options can be discussed with the ENT specialist when you meet.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
