How Can Vertigo Be Treated?

My son woke up one morning with verdigo. He went to the dr. and he gave him an antibiotic and antihistamine. He is still having problems, especially trying to sleep at night. Can he try an over the counter sea sick med. while on the other meds or what is your suggestion.

Hi there, if vertigo is what your son is currently experiencing, I would recommend he try over the counter meclizine. I would either wait until the courses of the antibiotic and antihistamine are finished or ask your pharmacist what the antibiotic/antihistamine are and just make sure there are no known dangerous interactions with meclizine. It is also a bit sedating, so it may help your son sleep at night. I wish you all the best and hope my answer was helpful for you.
