Hi
Welcome to Health care magic
Advil is an anti-inflammatory and analgesic drug and it relieves pain and headache. It will not act against dizziness.
In your case since these symptoms are following injury they will resolve. If dizziness persist and other symptoms indicating head injury like vomiting, nausea.... appear, you need to consult your doctor for examination and treatment depending on the underlying cause.
