Hello and welcome to HCM, Labyrinthitis is inflammation of the labyrinth or inner ear. Labyrinthitis is inflammation of the inner ear and is caused by infectious agents. Labyrinthitis is characterized by spinning of head and medication which controls or prevents head spinning are used for treatment. Antibiotics are the mainstay of treatment, however antibiotics may take some time to act thus, in the meanwhile you can take medication for symptomatic relief.
Thanks and take care DR Shailja Puri
