As for your kind information steroid drug is useful in the vertigo. It is the long acting steroid and have less side effect.
If you have no history of diabetes and Hypertension then there is no much worry about the side effect of the Tricort .
Faith on your doctor and go with the treatment of your doctor.

Hi Mam,

There are so many ways to overcome the vertigo other than the tricort injection but it depends on the specific cause of the vertigo.

In above answer, I already mention to go for vestibular function test, ENG(Electronystagmography), Pure tone Audiometry to reach the near diagnosis and better management.

Brief Answer:
First Conservative management

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for follow up query.

I personally advised to you that for above mentioned disease first go with conservative treatment.

After that disease is recurrent or hampered with your routine activity then go for surgical management.

According to me better to go for steroid spray instead of steroid injection.
