Hello Good Evening, Your middle ear infection has lead to Labyrinthitis, so I am hereby describing it, in brief: -It is an ailment of the inner ear and a form of unilateral vestibular dysfunction. -It can cause balance disorders, vertigo, hearing loss and tinnitus. -It is usually caused by a virus, but it can also arise from bacterial infection, head injury, extreme stress, an allergy or as a reaction to medication. -Both bacterial and viral labyrinthitis can cause permanent hearing loss. -It often follows an upper respiratory tract infection (URI). Recovery from acute labyrinthine inflammation generally takes from one to six weeks, but it is not uncommon for residual symptoms (dysequilibrium and/or dizziness) to last for many months or even years, if permanent damage occurs. In management, there should be following medications should be used under supervision of your GP: -Tab. Stemetil -Tab. Vertin -Tab Prednisolone -Tab. Pantoprazole+Domperidone Apart from medications following Rehabilitation strategies most commonly used are: Gaze stability exercises - moving the head from side to side while fixated on a stationary object (aimed to restore the Vestibulo-ocular reflex) An advanced progression of this exercise would be walking in a straight line while looking side to side by turning the head. Habituation exercises - movements designed to provoke symptoms and subsequently reduce the negative vestibular response upon repetition. Functional retraining - including postural control, relaxation, and balance training. Regards, Dr. Naresh Jain.
