i have at time had a fuzzie feeling, was told at the time i had fluid build up, the symptoms are back again and have tried claritin D and other things. I once has a package of a drug called lordain or lodaine or something to that effect that helped the symptoms over night...my family doctor doesn't reconize the name....can you help. These symptoms of fuzzieness occurs with just the movement of the head.
Thanks

Eustachian tube dysfunction or middle ear fluid accumulation following or during an ear infection could cause a sensation of dysequilibrium or actual vertigo. Decongestants or antihistamine/decongestant combinations are often prescribed in this situation with variable success. However, there isn't one particular medication that is likely to be significantly more effective than others. Fortunately in most cases the symptoms are self-limited and will resolve with or without such medications.
