Answer 1

the ear infection is throwing off your balance.(the inner ear keeps balance) The runny nose, fever etc are all signs of a upper resp infection. Take tylenol for the fever and pain relief. You really need an antibiotic. Don't go to the ER. See your own MD or see if there is one of those walk in, no appointment type places near you. You'll wait forever in an ER and this is not an emergency. ER's are not first come first serve, but in order of seriousness. It may go away on its own, but odds are you will need antibiotics. And take them until the jar is empty, not until you feel better!

Answer 2

Don't go to an Emergency Room for something that should be handled in a doctor's office. Call your doctor and make an appointment. Since you have had this for close to a week, it really doesn't seem like a true 'Emergency'. Emergency Rooms should be used for things like car accidents, broken bones, heart attacks etc. People always complain about the long wait in an ER, but often times patients use the ER for the wrong reasons which causes delays. Don't mean to gripe at you for it, but

Answer 3

#1 drink about 1/2 gallon of water per day - the head of neurorology at UCDavis (about 10 years ago) likened a car low on oil to a body low on water (engine siezing up).
#2 Daily muscle relaxer (1 or 2 swigs of molasses or 1 or 2 bananas) they contain magnesium and potassium.
#3 Massage therapy - professional or read The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook by Davies (it teaches you how). The principle that causes the headaches regardless of how severe is that muscles get knots (trigger points), which make the muscles stay tight, which press on nerves.
Your back, shoulders, neck and everywhere on your head will definitely play into the cause and it will take a while to get all the trigger points to go away.

Answer 4

You should see a doctor rather than going to the ER. The emergency room is for emergencies not something the family doctor can take care of.
The ear infection is causing your verdigo. Your GP can perscribe an antibiotic to fight the infection.
Also be sure to take the antibiotic for as long as perscribed, even when you feel better. To do otherwise will defeat it's purpose.

Answer 5

YOU SHOULD GO IMMEDIATELY TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM HAVE YOURSELF CHECKED...sounds like an infection and you might end up in the hospital...
