Even though most vertigo are relatively harmless and often
clears up on its own or becomes less intense over time without any specific
treatment, some forms might signify the beginning of a more serious condition.
Such cases of vertigo has to be evaluated by an experienced physician.
The treatment for vertigo depends on its underlying cause.
Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT) - This
physical therapy is performed to minimize dizziness, improve balance and prevent
falls by restoring normal function of the vestibular system. The success of
this exercise treatment depends on several factors like age and over all health
of the patient, physical strength etc.
Medication - Vertigo can be treated with medicine
which can be taken by mouth or placed on the skin (as a patch). Drugs are prescribed
for the balance mechanism of the inner ear problems.
Surgery - Sometimes surgical procedures are
used to correct certain types of vertigo. If it is caused by Meniere's disease,
where the function of the involved ear changes over time, and these changes
do not respond to medical therapy, then surgical intervention may eliminate
the vertigo.
For mild cases mainly, for BPV, the most common treatment is
to do specific exercises instructed by the physician. BPV is not associated
with drug treatment, but to control severe symptoms like nausea, vomiting etc.
medications may be prescribed. For Meniere's disease, the treatment recommended
is a low-salt diet. Intake of nutritional supplements and antioxidants like
vitamin C, vitamin E, lipoic acid, glutathione, vitamin B6 etc may be consider
to neutralize the effects of a persisting vertigo.
A person with vertigo may also be advised to follow a special
diet. The diet may include restrictions on excess intake of caffeine, alcohol,
and monosodium glutamate (MSG), which is found in Chinese and some prepackaged
foods.
Homeopathic medicine has also good remedies for correcting
the causes that leads to vertigo.
Prevention :
Always be aware of possibility of losing the balance which
may lead to falling and serious injury. When you feel dizzy, sit or lie down
immediately and wait for the dizziness to go away. Try to avoid positions or
activities that cause the dizziness. Be careful when getting up and out of the
bed. If any ear is affected, avoid sleeping on that side.
How to evacuate water from ear.
While bathing water gets inside my ear and after 4-5 days it's still there..This feels me awkward. plz mention remedy
Ans:
The best way to take all water out in such conditions is to fill maximum possible water in your hand (make a cup of it as when you drink water from tap)and, suppose it is a left ear, then tilt your head toward left- place the water filled hand below left ear- instantly, very quickly move your head opposite so that all water from hand enters the left ear- and again very quickly tilt your head toward left so that all water will come out(even that which was present prior to doing this activity.) It often happens that very small quantity of water does not come out of ear, so we have to fill the same ear with more water- this facilitates that small amount of water to get mix with large quantity of water inserted and all water comes out very easily.Trust me, its a tested remedy. follow the same procedure for right ear if there is water in that ear also.
