Meniere’s disease or syndrome and treament

July 23rd, 2007 by admin

Meniere’s disease or syndrome is a condition characterized by recurrent dizziness, ringing of the ear and sometimes even with defness on the affected ear. The exact cause is unknown but the problem lies in the swelling of the endolymphatic organ in the innermost portion of the ear, which is responsible for balancing and hearing.

Rest is important part of treatment. Rest will give time for the body to adopt and relieve the edema inside the ear. Your medicine is advisable as a maintenance therapy. Other choices for acute attacks are dimenhydrinate, meclizine, and cinnarizine. For very severe case, surgery can be done to relieve the pressure in the inner ear.
