HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
If there is no pain or stiffness in the neck then it is less likely that the dizziness is related to his spine.
It may be related to his blood pressure if it is lower than is norm at 120/84 though this pressure is ok.
He may have an unrelated infection which can also cause him to feel terrible.
If he has ear pain then it could be an ear infection as suggested , if this is the case then antibiotics would be needed.
I hope this helps
