Hi Dear ,

Welcome to HCM,

Understanding your concern .As per your query you have problem of dizziness, loud tinnitus and nausea, with history of parotidectomy . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like temporomandibular problem , stress and anxiety , localize change in blood pressure , impacted tooth , hearing loss and infection in ear . The symptoms can also occur due to condition like meniere's disease . Dizziness and nausea can also occur due to post surgical complication , so consult your surgeon.I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist for proper examination . Doctor may order tests like CT scan , vitals , examination with otoscope and rule out TMJ or impacted tooth problems . Doctor may prescribe supplement like ginkgo biloba , anti inflammatory , antibiotics ( gentamicin ) or may refer you to dentist in case of TMJ or impacted tooth problem . For now apply dry warm compress to TMJ and ear , drink green tea thrice a day and try to make yourself relax . Doctor may also refer you to neurologist for migraine like problem .

Hope your concern has been resolved .
