EAR AND SINUS INFECTION WITH HORRIBLE VERTIGO!!! HELP

[rubenstein821]

was just diagnosed last wednesday with the flu, and then yesterday 5 days later was diagnosed with a sinus and ear infection. for the last couple of days i have had really bad vertigo wether I am standing or sitting, feels kinda like I am drunk all day long, and really spiking my anxiety. I was put on cefdinir but have not even been on it a full 24 hours yet. I was wondering two things. is the vertigo/dizziness normal with these infections and how long until I can expect some relief from this medication?

thank you so much! I am feeling so much better today already! brain fog finally went away and minimul vertigo, mostly when moving quickly!
Thank you so much for your input!

The question on your prescription is a good one for the prescribing doctor.

I would not be surprised if it takes more than 24 hours to feel noticeable improvement - yes ear infections can cause balance problems.
