I have balance problems due to a middle ear infection since August. Can you recommend a medicine?

Balance problems after a middle ear infection usually need proper evaluation before starting medicine. Doctors may prescribe medicines for infection, vertigo, or inflammation depending on the cause, but taking them without examination is not advised. Since your symptoms have lasted several months, you should consult an ENT specialist for an ear examination and hearing tests. Early treatment can help prevent long-term balance issues.

I have daily head pain and dizziness when rotating my head. What could be the reason?

Daily head pain with dizziness when rotating your head is commonly caused by inner ear balance problems or neck-related issues (cervical spondylosis or muscle strain). It can also be linked to migraine, sinus problems, or poor posture. An ENT specialist or neurologist can help identify the exact cause with simple tests. Early evaluation and proper treatment can usually relieve these symptoms effectively.

I experience a slight sensation of whirling and loss of balance when rotating or nodding my head. Please help.

A spinning or loss of balance sensation when turning or nodding your head is commonly due to an inner ear balance problem, especially BPPV (benign positional vertigo). It is usually not serious and can be treated with specific head-position exercises and short-term medicines if needed. An ENT specialist can confirm this and guide proper treatment. Until then, avoid sudden head movements and get up slowly to prevent falls.

My mother has been suffering from vertigo for the last 2 years, with a BP of 150/80. What treatment do you recommend?

Vertigo for 2 years needs proper evaluation, especially with blood pressure around 150/80. Long-term vertigo is commonly due to inner ear problems, cervical spine issues, poor BP control, or medication effects. She should consult an ENT specialist for balance tests and possible repositioning exercises, and also see her physician to optimise BP control. Treatment usually includes anti-vertigo medicines, physiotherapy for balance, and controlling blood pressure, which together can greatly reduce symptoms.

I've been experiencing dizziness for the last 2 years, and an MRI of my head did not show anything. Please help me.

Dizziness lasting for 2 years can be very troubling, and a normal MRI is reassuring but does not rule out all causes. Long-term dizziness is often due to inner ear (balance) problems, low blood pressure, anaemia, anxiety, neck issues, or medication side effects. You should consult an ENT specialist or neurologist for balance tests and a detailed evaluation, and also get basic blood tests done. With proper diagnosis, most chronic dizziness can be managed and significantly improved.

What medication should I take for giddiness and cervical issues?

Giddiness with cervical (neck) issues is usually managed with a combination of short-term anti-vertigo medicines, neck pain?relief medicines, and physiotherapy rather than one single tablet. Doctors often prescribe medicines to reduce dizziness along with muscle relaxants or pain relievers for the neck, plus posture correction and neck exercises. Since the exact medicine depends on your age, BP, and other conditions, it is best to consult a doctor or ENT specialist instead of self-medicating. Proper treatment can give good relief.
