Allergies, Fluid In Head, Ears, Dizziness. On Claritin, Ear Popping. Fluid Retention Or Infection?
I was told by me GP that I had allergies and lots of fluid in my head and fluid in both my ears. She gave me an antihistamine and it seemed to get better. Also, lots of dizziness . when i ran out of the antihistamine, i started taking claritin but now my ears are popping and itching really bad and the dizziness is still there? Could it still be the fluid or an infection?
Hello,
Antihistamines (sedating ones) help with dizziness but it is best you get seen by an ENT specialist if the dizziness worsens.
Serc or betahistine upto three times a day will help and clarityn needs to be continued for the itchiness.
Viral infections of the inner ear is probably what you have that settles in a week but if the dizziness worsens along with fever or other symptoms such as vomiting, please get seen by a specialist.
