Posted on Thu, 6 Aug 2015

Question: Hello...I had a bout of viral fever since Sunday this week and though the temperatures have returned to normal, I feel very dizzy even while sitting. I have started taking solid food but the dizziness has not gone away. Can you kindly advice what should be done differently for this?

Brief Answer:
It will settle down....

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Viral illness is a self resolving condition and it hardly causes complications. You seem to have post viral symptoms and this will also decline with some time. You need not be worried. Continue to take rest and drink lots of water. If the dizziness is troubling you, you can ask your doctor for cinnarizine (stugerone) tablets. It should make you feel comfortable.

Hope this is clear. Let me know if you need clarifications.
