Hello David,
Are you on proper treatment for labryinthitis. if yes then ---
You can start off with some vestibular rehabilitation exercises--
1.put your thumb in front of eyes and move the thumb and keep your eyes fixed on the thumb right and left.
2.turn slowly your neck to see on to your right and then to left
3.slowly move neck to look up and look down.
You must also consult your ENT specialist before going so that he can change the medication accordingly as without seeing the prescription you are on i can not comment.
Get well soon.
