What Causes Vertigo In An Elderly Person While Treating Nasal Congestion?
I have had a post nasal drip and nasal congestion for several days. Today I feel much better and my raspy throat is also gone. I am 70 yrs old and in generally good health but feeling a little like my vertigo is coming on. Just took a Bonine pill to help. Did I do the right thing or should I be concerned about the wooziness?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
This is fine. Bonine can be used for a short period to treat vertigo.
Since you had a recent bout of sinusitis, this is likely the cause of the vertigo so you should continue with your sinus medication.
It would be important to note that bonine is an antihistamine so you would need to be careful using other antihistamines along with it.
I hope this helps
