Dear friend,
Thanks for the query. I fully appreciate your concerns.
Your father probably has Labyrinthitis, that is, affection of the part of the ear which maintains balance.
If you had brought your father to my Clinic, I would have prescribed Betahistine 16mg thrice daily for 2-3 days.
Please consult your doctor to examine him and prescribe him a suitable drug.
