Brief Answer:
Watchful waiting while adhering to prescription

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

If the doctor has tested your thoroughly after comprehensive history and examination and recommended betahistine there seem a non serious problem. Betahistine should go every 8 hours for 5 days and gradually it takes its clinical effect to commence. If it does not help in 5 days I suggest to go back to your doctor.
Sometimes my patients call me after three days and I safely recommend them cinnarazine tablets as well.
Cervical spondylosis is known to cause dizziness regularly. I recommend a complete rehab from a physiotherapist.
