Meniere's Syndrome

Meniere's syndrome is a disease that is characterized by disruption of the inner ear, which leads to constant attacks of dizziness and hearing loss. This is a serious disease that requires timely treatment.

Meniere's syndrome in children usually occurs between the ages of 5 and 21 years. Dizziness may appear suddenly and last from a few minutes to several days or weeks. This condition occurs quite often in adolescents involved in sports, as well as after a head injury.

The cause of Meniere's syndrome is the accumulation of fluid in the inner ear, which causes expansion of the endolymph found inside the cochlea. Symptoms of this disease may include dizziness, nausea, vomiting, hearing loss, tinnitus, and poor balance and coordination.

Diagnosis is carried out using computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging or ultrasound. Treatment for Meniere's syndrome may include drug therapy and surgical procedures.

Drug treatment may include antibiotics, antifungals, or anti-inflammatory drugs. Surgical methods involve removing fluid from the inner ear.

Systematic repeated visits to an otolaryngologist will help identify the development of diseases and the timeliness of preventive measures. Warm water or wet compresses will help relieve tension in the head and relieve unpleasant symptoms. Sedatives and sleeping pills will help reduce headaches and minimize stress.

If you nevertheless encounter this disease, then you should not self-medicate, since only a doctor can prescribe complex treatment and, if necessary, correct the condition. Careful observation and regular laboratory and instrumental studies are necessary, so that changes can be identified in a timely manner and measures can be taken to correct them.
