Brief Answer:
You can start symptomatic treatment now.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for posting your query to HCM.

As of now, you can start symptomatic treatment with betahistine tablets. You should fell better in a day or two if the symptoms are due to peripheral vertigo.

If symptoms persist for more than 2 more days, you can see your doctor.

Best wishes,

Dr Sudhir Kumar MD, DM
