Is having giddiness, head spinning and frequent cold related to fits ?
Patient: My daughter is 13years old she is having giddiness, head spinning for past one month and she is also having cold frequently whenever she cries, dust allergies and even whe we wrap onion, we went to ENT specialist he gave T.Verting 8mg for one week and he told that may be in ear fluid will be less or it may be fits, i am scared on hearing this now i want to know whether its fits and why its coming Doctor: Hi,Had it been due to fits, the symptoms would have been episodic, lasting for only a few minutes. The description that you have given of symptoms persistent for last one month and associated with cold are more suggestive of inner ear dysfunction. The inner ear structures contain a fluid and they are necessary for maintaining the balance of the body. Any dysfunction results in dizziness and vertigo. It should improve with Vertin (betahistine) tablets. Please do not worry. It does not appear to be fits.Best wishes.
