How to treat vertigo

  Vertigo is a subjective sensory disorder caused by various reasons and is mainly classified into the following five types: peripheral vertigo (otologic vertigo), central vertigo (cerebral vertigo), systemic disease vertigo, ophthalmogenic vertigo, and psychoneurologic vertigo.  If patients develop vertigo, they can consult otolaryngology, ophthalmology and neurology to improve external auditory canal examination, vestibular function examination, hearing examination, star tracing test, deviated finger test, fundus examination, cranial CT, cranial MRI, etc. to find the cause of vertigo and then treat the cause. For example, vertigo caused by vaginitis, otitis media, vestibular neuronitis and other diseases should be treated with anti-infection drugs and surgery if necessary; vertigo caused by Meniere’s disease can be controlled by oral valium and promethazine drugs; ocular vertigo can be improved by glasses, eye drops and moderate eye use; psychoneurotic vertigo can be improved by oral antipsychotic drugs. The specific medication should be based on the doctor’s consultation.  To sum up, for the treatment of vertigo, it is necessary to improve the relevant examination, clarify the cause, and choose the appropriate treatment plan for the original cause of vertigo.
