Hi! The head injury can definitely cause head spinning and dizziness, which can last from several days to several weeks. The inner ear infection can also be post traumatic due to your head injury. In this case the antibiotics you are taking will help. Spinning and dizziness should be resolved after a couple of weeks. If your concerns will still be persistent, I would recommend that you do a MRI or CT scan.
