How To Treat Dizzy Spells?
Not sure if it is rated or not... but I got my tragus pierced about 3 weeks ago (for the 2nd time. 1st time was about 13 yrs ago and it closed after removing it 8months later) I have been going through some major dizzy spells ever since. at first thought it was the flu but it never progressed. Now I am at a loss...

Thank you for asking!
Ear piercing might have caused it by affecting the inner ear . Also the flu leads to such dizziness and itself resolves. It just takes a few weeks before it completely does.Meanwhile try some simple medications like meclizine and betahistines and prochlorperazine for the relief. Use support while walking to avoid fall specially in the morning.It will be fine soon.Seek an otorhinolaryngologist if the issue persists.
