If you have had vertigo in the past 3 months for a few weeks, can you get it again after having a cold? dr gave me steroids to help.

Yes: Infection or inflammation of your ear can cause vertigo due to laberyntitis. You can try using an antihistamine like benadryl (diphenhydramine).

Yes: There are many causes of vertigo therefore you can still get vertigo even though you have had one episode that has resolved.
