Manipulative repositioning is often recommended for otolithiasis, and if minor discomfort remains, adjunctive medication and necessary vestibular rehabilitation may be considered.
The etiology of otolithiasis is unclear. The pathogenesis of the disease may be due to a variety of causative factors that result in the dislodgment of otoliths, which irritate the semicircular canals when the body is in motion, resulting in transient vertigo.
Treatment of otolithiasis includes medication, manipulative repositioning therapy and vestibular rehabilitation training. Medication can only achieve a palliative effect, and treatment is mainly through manipulative repositioning. After repositioning, medication is often needed to assist in the recovery process. Commonly used medications to improve circulation are betahistine and ginkgo biloba extract.
Otolithiasis is usually treated by manipulation and repositioning with immediate effect, but there are often recurrent episodes, and surgical treatment, such as semicircular canal occlusion, can be carried out as prescribed by the doctor if necessary.
The above drugs should be used under the guidance of a doctor. If you feel unwell, please consult the hospital in time to avoid delaying your condition.
