Hello and welcome to Healthcare magic .
Internal ear infection will generally present with nausea ,giddiness more on moving head ,accompanied by tinnitus (buzzing sounds in the ear ) and sometimes loss of hearing to some extent , a feelling of fullness in the ear may also be felt .
Internal ear disorders are not accompanied by diarrhoea usually.
If diarrhoea is associated then the chances are more for a gastrointestinal infection or dyspepsia due to faulty eating .
Rest and ORS (oral rehydration solution ) and weak liquids should be given .
At the age of 55 years ,giddiness can also be due to Hypertension ,so do ask him to get his BP checked and take an antihypertensive if it is higher than 150/90 mm Hg .
Hope that helps .
