Brief Answer:
Take treatment as advised and do vertigo exercises
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through your question and understand your concern.
Acute infection or upper respiratory tract infections can cause acute vestibulitis causing vertigo.
Antibiotics and decongestant will help gradually.
You can take betahistine or cinnarizine for vertigo.
Avoid extreme and sudden neck turning. Vertigo exercises can be done too.
You can visit to the treating doctor if not getting any response.
