It is Sunday, Dr. not reachable.....(Mr Dr. sent some sort of suppositories several years ago, the last time I had it.) Is there any home remedies that would help ?
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor . Internal ear infection will generally present with nausea, giddiness more on moving head, accompanied by tinnitus (buzzing sounds in the ear) and sometimes loss of hearing to some extent, a feeling of fullness in the ear may also be felt. Internal ear disorders are not accompanied by diarrhea usually. If diarrhea is associated then the chances are more for a gastrointestinal infection or dyspepsia due to faulty eating. Rest and ORS (oral rely Chat Doctor. At the age of 55 years, giddiness can also be due to Hypertension, so do ask him to get his BP checked and take an antihypertensive if it is higher than 150/90 mm Hg. Hope that helps.
