Vertigo is a specific type of dizziness where you feel like you or your surroundings are spinning, even when you’re standing still.
Dizziness is a feeling of lightheadedness, unsteadiness, or feeling like you might faint.
Certain people get this feeling when they change their position at once, for instance when they turn their face at once to another direction or when they suddenly stand up. Some others feel difficult to balance themselves while standing or walking due to the feeling of dizziness and faintness. Few others find it difficult to focus their eyes on a particular thing or experience ringing noises in the ears.
Dizziness and Vertigo can be treated easily and ENT doctors call this medical study and treatment as Neuro-otology. Dizziness and vertigo treatments in India are very effective in resolving imbalance and also cost-effective compared with treatments from other countries.

Just one-time treatment would be adequate for few patients, while others might need two or three sessions. This is not suitable for persons with spine or back problems.
It takes around 7 days for most children to fully recover. You will need to keep your child away from day-care, kindergarten and school during this period.
General activities can be resumed when your child feels up to it. Please avoid active sports, rough play & heavy lifting for 2 weeks.
Children will experience throat pain and discomfort for up to 10 days following surgery. Ear pain, jaw pain and neck pain may also occur. This can be improved with pain relief but may not entirely disappear. During this time, it is recommended your child take some regular pain relief.
If pain relief requirements exceed this, please contact Dr Morrissey.
There is some evidence that the following measures may aid in pain relief after tonsil surgery:
In certain circumstances, children may be prescribed antibiotics following surgery. Please take as instructed if advised. For most children after adenotonsillectomy they are not needed.
There are no restrictions on diet. Children are encouraged to drink as much as required to avoid dehydration. Ice blocks are a good option as they are soothing and aid hydration.
If your child refuses solids but is maintaining good fluid intake, this is acceptable. At least 80mls per kg body weight per day is recommended.
Please contact our Practice if your child is not drinking or eating enough. They may need to be re-admitted to hospital for intravenous fluids.
It is common to have a mild fever for the first 24-48 hours after the operation. Please call our Practice or see your GP if there is a persistent fever greater than 38.5°C.
This is expected following removal of the tonsils and adenoids and is part of the normal healing process. The bad breath usually settles after around 3 weeks if not sooner.
If there is any sign of fresh bleeding from the nose or mouth greater than a teaspoon in volume please present to the nearest Hospital Emergency department for assessment.
