Suggest Treatment For Vertigo

Hello, I have Vertigo due to allergies. Went to an ENT and have had tests done and all is okay with my ears, but I have sinus issues due to allergies and he feels that is the culprit for my Vertigo. My symptoms are mainly feeling off balance, or like I am walking sideways. I have to fly in a couple days, I usually take Dramamine (meclizine) as a precaution. Is there any more I should do or should this cover it? I heard decongestants or EarPlan plugs can help?

Hello!

Welcome on Healthcaremagic!

I read carefully your question and understand your concern.
I agree with the choice of taking meclizine, which is a good drug against allergies and also vertigo.
A nasal drop would also help improve your sinus drainage. But decongestants can not be used for a long time. In this regard, I would recommend using regularly concentrated nasal saline solution.

Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Best wishes, Dr. Aida
