  |

Hi, my husband has been acting really strange lately. He walked without any balance and often had vertigo and nausea. I barely managed to convince him to visit a doctor, and after some tests, it turned out that he has viral labyrinthitis. A doctor prescribed him some antiviral drugs and corticosteroids. Did anyone managed to recover from this condition?

Hi, I also had a viral labyrinthitis, and fortunately, I managed to recover. I heard that we are more likely to recover completely than those who have a bacterial labyrinthitis. However, some patients suffer from permanent imbalance and hearing problems after viral labyrinthitis. When I was diagnosed for the first time, a doctor made a mistake and thought that I have a vestibular neuritis. It is a very similar disease. However, it turned out later that he was wrong, because the treatment wasn’t working at all. I went to another doctor who did a better examination, and diagnosed me with the viral labyrinthitis. He prescribed me some antiviral drugs and I was finally noticing some results.
