Dizziness, Off Balance After Being On Antibiotics For Ear Infection. Suggested Equalizing Ears. Right Treatment?
Hi, I have had anitbotic's for an ear infection three weeks ago and am still experiencing the off balance dizzy and sick effects of this. I did call my Dr again last week and he said I need to equalize my ears (pop them like you would on a plane) What do you think, should I really be going back for him to recheck my ear?

Hi, most probably it is due to not got treated completely, and spread to the internal ear. I advise you to consult an E.N.T .surgeon for diagnosis and treatment. You may need to have M.R.I. for confirmation. Other causes are ischemia of the brain, and gastric irritation to the antibiotics. Thank you.
