Hello, I went to the E.R. last week because of intense dizziness. I was diagnosed with benign positional vertigo and told to see my primary care dr. within a few days. My primary felt the dizziness would go away on its own and recommended I see an E.N.T. if I didn t feel better by this week. I saw and E.N.T. yesterday because I am still a bit dizzy and she stated I might potentially have an ear infection in my left ear. She couldn t see any redness or fluid in my year. She prescribed prednisone for this potential ear infection. I am wondering if this ear infection could go away on its own or if there is something else I could take instead of the prednisone. E.N.T. feels that the potential infection would explain why I am still a bit dizzy and why, upon doing a hearing test, my left ear was performing slightly less than my right ear.
