It's possible, better to get examined and evaluated by an ENT specialist.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

Yes, the possibility of extension of war infection is there in such cases leading to inner ear damage and vertigo.

Sometimes migraine is associated with vertigo.

If you don't recover in 2-3 days then I'd suggest consulting an ENT specialist for further evaluation.
