Dizziness rarely occurs alone. It is often made worse by these classic sinusitis symptoms:
An oral decongestant (like pseudoephedrine) or a steroid nasal spray (like fluticasone) can shrink swollen tissues, opening the Eustachian tubes. Note: Do not use spray decongestants (Afrin) for more than 3 days, as they cause rebound congestion.
Dizziness from a sinus infection is a mechanical issue usually caused by pressure and fluid in the ear disrupting your balance. By focusing on draining the sinuses and keeping the body hydrated, the sensation typically subsides as the infection clears. However, because the inner ear is delicate, persistent or severe dizziness should always be evaluated by a healthcare professional to rule out complications.
