Hi thanks for asking question.
According to your doctor mostly you have viral generalised infection with stomach involvement.
So vertigo can be because of that.
But other causes also has to be ruled out like labirynthitis.ear examination can be helpful.
Head injury , hypertension, history of stroke , few medication can lead to vertigo.
If you have reccurent bouts of vertigo vestibular rehabilitation can be done to strengthen this system.
In infectious labyrinthitis antibiotic needed.while in inflammation cause steroid needed.
If vertigo appear in particular position benign positional vertigo is the diagnosis.
I hope my suggestion will help you
