General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

Labirynthitis is an inflammation of the inner ear. I suggest to take over-the-counter antihistamines to ease some of the symptoms of viral labyrinthitis, such as nausea or dizziness. Stronger antihistamines, such as meclizine or promethazine, are available on prescription. I also suggest to avoid consuming too much salt.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
