Hello,
* The Gravol does respond in some cases of vertigo , but advil will flare vertigo by its antihistamine properties at CNS levels, so best to be avoided.
* There are best Appley`s menuvers exercises for paroxysmal positional vertigo, which can be sorted out with your family doc if possible.
* If nearby chemist is having betahistidine, it is best molecule for such vertigo handling.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
