Accepted Answer

See a doctor?: I know that doesn't sound terribly ingenious but I believe it's the best answer.  How do you even know it's an ear infection if you've not been seen? Many things can cause an "off balance feeling." The choice of medications (if necessary) may also depend on many other things that you've not mentioned. Only your doctor will know best what to prescribe..if anything...good luck.
