A member asked:
How often does a sinus infection cause labyrinthitis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sinusitis: An infection in the nasopharynx can certainly spread to the middle ear for otitis media and ultimately labyrinthitis. It will likely respond to the same treatment prescribed for the sinusitis. You may need symptom relief for the dizzyness until the infection resolves.
