Suggest Treatment For Severe Vertigo

I have been having vertigo severly. Two weeks it has been an issue. I had the positional vertigo to start with then a new symptom of closing my eyes/being in the dark makes me extremely dizzy. I had went a week with no food because of vomiting and diarrhea. I have been to 4 doctors including the ER who said I have an inner ear infection causing this. I am losing sleep and having extreme anxiety over this. I am on Valium because of it. I just want to know what to do and please tell me I will get over this.
