Summary about Labyrinthitis in English

Labyrinthitis is an inflammation of the labyrinth, a system of fluid-filled channels in the inner ear that helps to balance and hear. Severe vertigo occurs due to the condition, which can last for more than 20 minutes and even several days. Labyrinthitis can be temporary when caused by an infection or recurrent when caused by medication or allergies.

Symptoms of Labyrinthitis

The symptoms of labyrinthitis appear quickly and can last for several days. They usually fade after that, but they can continue to surface if you move your head suddenly. The majority of the time, this condition is painless. Signs and symptoms of labyrinthitis are:

  • dizziness
  • tinnitus, characterized by a buzzing or ringing in the ear
  • loss of balance
  • vertigo
  • nausea and vomiting
  • difficulty focusing the eyes
  • loss of hearing in a high-frequency range in one ear

In rare cases, complications may include permanent hearing loss.

Causes of Labyrinthitis

Labyrinthitis can strike anyone at any age. Labyrinthitis can be caused by due to:

  • respiratory illnesses such as bronchitis
  • stomach viruses
  • viral infections of the inner ear
  • herpes viruses
  • infectious organisms, such as that causes Lyme disease
  • bacterial infections, including the middle ear bacterial infections

There is an increased risk of developing labyrinthitis for those who:

  • smoke
  • are habitually fatigued
  • have a history of allergies
  • drink large quantities of alcohol
  • take some prescription medications
  • are under extreme stress
  • take over-the-counter medications

Preventive Measures of Labyrinthitis

As the underlying condition causes labyrinthitis, its risk can be reduced by:

  •  washing hands regularly 
  • trying to avoid germs during the cold and flu season. 
  • not drinking excessive alcohol or smoking.

Treatment

The symptoms of labyrinthitis can be annoying or even incapacitating. Fortunately, the condition is usually self-limited, which means it gets better on its own. Some of the treatments for labyrinthitis include:

  • Rest
  • Medication
  • Vestibular Rehabilitation
