Suggest Treatment For Severe Dizziness And Headache When Diagnosed With Strep Throat
Question: my wife has both ears plugged dizziness and headache this came on first she had strep throat from a plane flight then plugged ears and headache and dizziness
Brief Answer:
Hello
Detailed Answer:
This is probably what's called Eustachian tube dysfunction--blockage of the tubes that equalize the pressure across the eardrum.
It can be treated with a course of prednisone or a cortisone injection but she needs to have a doctor check it out and also make sure she doesn't have wax impacted in her ear canals
