What Causes Dizziness And Ear Pain Along With Clogged Feeling?

My daughter is having severe ear pain accompanied by a clogged feeling. She is dizzy and off balance. The doctor at the urgent care center said her ear looks fine... maybe a little foggy but nothing serious. But, she is in a lot of pain. What could this be?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain the symptoms of ear ache, clogged feeling along with loss of balance and dizziness can be due to disorder associated with inner ear like Meniere's disease..
It is da disordr of inner ear effecting the membranous portion of inner ear..
I would suggest you to consult an Otolaryngologist and get evaluated and he can advise you investigatins like MRI, CT scan, Audiometry,Posturography, Electrocochleography etc..
In case if Meniere's disease is diagnosed as the cause the Physician can advise you medications like Meclizine, Diazepam etc..
If there is nausea Promethazime can be advised..
You can also be advised antibiotic ear drops, steroids etc..
She can also be advised Vestibular Rehabilitation, hearing aids etc..
Avoid turning your head suddenly to left and right, you should lie down on bed if you feel vertigo attack, limit salt intake..
You should also avoid excess stress and meditation can help..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
