Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have pain in the neck and dizziness. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like meniere's disease , acoustic neuroma , migraine or cervical spondylosis . Even TMJ problem can also cause such symptoms . Avoid bending forward and drink green tea with ginger thrice a day . Apply dry warm compresses on ear. You should take oral broad spectrum Antibiotics to treat the infection. Put anti-inflammatory ear drops. Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined , who may order CT scan , rotatory chair test along with taking history. Start treatment after proper prescription. Doctor may also recommend meniett device , steroid injection or vestibular therapy . Doctor may also prescribe supplement like ginkgo biloba . Do mind relaxing exercises like meditation and yoga , also apply warm compresses to neck.

Hope your concern has been resolved.
