Brief Answer:
You might want to visit a neurologist for a physical evaluation.

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX

1. Her problem is entirely neurological.
2. This is due, most probably because of the trauma to her head. As you have mentioned before.
3. Thus it is important to take her to a neurologist. These examinations cannot be conducted online.
4. This is because the CT Scans are entirely normal. Thus there is no pressure producing lesion in her brain, despite the accident.
5. There are many anti vertigo tablets and choices in drugs available. Since you have not mentioned the exact drug that she is allergic to, I cannot speculate on what she is allergic to. Thus, you must be informed that you have options when it comes to anti vertigo drugs. If she is allergic to a certain drug, she can change it.
6. This warrants a talk with a neurologist.
7. This issue, all her problems taken as a whole also warrant an EEG scan of her brain electrical activity.
8. On accomplishing this she will be fine.

Kindly follow these suggestions.
Write back to me with your opinions as regards this.
