Suggest Treatment For Vertigo

I was told my daughter has vertigo due to early puberty and hormone changes. she is 9 and has a headache every day, dizziness and stomach pains. they said if it continues to see a neurologist. she is also able to take advil and Dramamine for the dizziness. it will take about 6 months to get into a neurologist. she feels awful every day and this has been going on for two months now. she went to a children s hospital to have blood work, and cat scans. this is her diagnosis. I do not know what else to do this poor kid can barely make it through a day of school.

Hormone changes can not cause such a severe problems.
If the Neurologist takes 6 months to take an appointment, the pediatrician is equally competent to have basis diagnosis and go for a MRI of the brain with MRI ANGIOGRAPHY of hte brain as there is a possibility of a vascular malformation that can cause such a severe problem.
Many times hypertension can also cause such a problem, such a simple diagnosis and does not need an expertise of a Neurologist.
