What are the treatments for vestibular neuronitis

Vestibular neuronitis is a disease that mainly occurs through infection. During the onset of the disease, the patient's main symptom is dizziness, and even tinnitus may occur. The probability of these symptoms occurring is quite high. As the disease progresses, the patient will also feel special pain in his head. However, this pain is paroxysmal and generally will not last too long. However, every time the disease occurs, the patient will feel very uncomfortable. In addition, he may also feel dizziness to varying degrees, which is also very common. This symptom may last for more than several months, so patients must take effective treatment measures in a timely manner.

1. General treatment

Rest in bed and avoid head and neck movements and sound and light stimulation

2. Symptomatic treatment

Vertigo symptoms caused by vestibular damage should be treated with sedatives and tranquilizers. Those with severe vertigo and vomiting can be given intramuscular injection of promethazine hydrochloride or diazepam. If symptoms are not significantly relieved, the above treatment may be repeated as appropriate. After the vertigo is relieved, you can continue to take promethazine, diazepam or flunarizine (Sibelium). At the same time, vitamin B12, B2, niacin (nicotinic acid) or scopolamine can be taken orally and vitamin B12 can be injected intramuscularly. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can be performed if necessary.

3. For acute attacks of vertigo

Symptoms can be controlled according to the treatment of Meniere's disease. For prolonged vomiting, intravenous fluid and electrolyte replacement and supportive treatment are necessary.

4. Vestibular rehabilitation exercises.

5. Hormone therapy

Prednisone is taken orally, and potassium salt is added at the same time.

Drug treatment for vestibular neuritis: In the acute phase, sedatives such as diazepam and hibernation spirit should be given, and hormones also have a certain effect. During the chronic stage, nutrition should be increased, exercise should be carried out, and lesions should be removed. If the condition does not heal after long-term treatment, vestibular nerve section may be considered. Purulent labyrinthitis

When pyogenic bacteria invade the inner ear, they cause diffuse purulent lesions in the labyrinth, which is called purulent labyrinthitis. In this disease, the inner ear end organs are destroyed and all functions are lost. The infection can continue to spread into the brain, causing intracranial complications.
