Meniere’s syndrome, or Meniere’s disease, does not cause an odor of alcohol. If you notice an odor of alcohol, you need to actively seek medical attention to investigate the cause.
Ménière’s disease is a disease of the inner ear of unknown origin, characterized by the accumulation of water in the membranous labyrinth. Clinical manifestations are recurrent vertigo, fluctuating and progressive sensorineural deafness, tinnitus, and a feeling of fullness in the ear; generally monaural onset, with the prolongation of the disease, both ears can be involved.
The odor of alcohol may be perceived as ethanol after stimulation of the senses of smell and taste; or patients with abnormal sensory memory sometimes exhibit some sort of phantom smell symptom, which manifests itself as a fantasy of smelling alcohol in the absence of the presence of alcohol.
When a patient with Meniere’s disease senses the odor of alcohol, he or she needs to seek active medical attention and systematic examination to clarify the diagnosis and cause of the disease.
