Brief Answer:
Active infection
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query.
Swollen ear, nausea and vertigo are symptoms seen in active middle ear infection.
If you are on Doxycycline for the ear infection, I believe there is a need to change the same. Doxycycline is not suitable antibiotic for middle ear infections.
Fluoroquinolone class of antibiotics are best suited for ear infections. I suggest you to ask your treating doctor to consider the same.
Hope, I answered your query.
Wish you good health.
