Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My daughter is complaining of dizziness and has a stuffy nose and a headache for the last few days. Is The congestion causing her dizziness? Trying to get an appointment for the doctor. She complained of dizziness but was still able to play her sports.
The symptoms as mentioned in your post can be attributed to Sinusitis. Investigations like complete blood count & X-ray of paranasal sinus will be helpful in clinching the diagnosis. The dizziness can be secondary to the spread of infection to the ear.
Management includes: 1. Steam inhalation. 2. Analgesics like paracetamol 3. Nasal decongestant drops. 4. Antibiotics depending upon culture & sensitivity reports. 5. Antihistamine preparations can also be used to provide symptomatic relief. 6. Maintain adequate hydration & a healthy balance diet. 7. Also make sure that she is well protected from cold, dust & other allergens.
So, kindly consult an ENT specialist and start treatment as advised. Wish her good health & a speedy recovery. Take care.
