Is Dizziness Due To Labyrinthitis Caused By Germs From The Neti Pot?

Hi. I m sure it s been asked before but I ve been dizzy for about the past week. Went to ENT and he said it s most likely labyrinthitis. I used a netti pot about 3 weeks ago with warm, non sterile water from faucet. I feel constantly buzzed . Not so much dizzy but just out of it My question is could my symptom be from a parasite via the Nettie pot? If it s not labyrinthitis what else could it be? Thank you Steve

Hi,


Thanks for your question on HCM



I do understand your pain and discomfort



As per your history is concerned your problem is due to virus only but not parasite as mentioned by you which causes inflammation of your inner ear. Your second question was if it is not labyrinthitis then what it may be, my answer is dizziness can be due to various pathological causes among them for your case BPV, Vestibular neuritis, and anemia can not be ruled out. So Take cinnarazine tablets for dizziness and check your hemoglobin level if low take iron caps, Add a multivitamin capsules every day at bedtime.



Hope that helps
