Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have headache along with dizziness and pain in the neck . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like meniere's disease , acoustic neuroma , migraine or cervical spondylosis . Even TMJ problem can also cause such symptoms which also occur due to bruxism that is grinding of teeth at night. Avoid bending forward and drink green tea with ginger thrice a day . Apply dry warm compresses on ear. You should take oral broad spectrum Antibiotics to treat the infection. Put anti-inflammatory ear drops. You should maintain complete hygiene of ear canal. Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined , who may order CT scan , rotatory chair test along with taking history. Start treatment after proper prescription. Doctor may also recommend hearing aid , meniett device , steroid injection or vestibular therapy . Doctor may also prescribe supplement like ginkgo biloba . Do mind relaxing exercises like meditation and yoga , also apply warm compresses to neck. Take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for headache.
