A member asked:

Fluid buildup on the inner ear, no infection. have vertigo, doctor prescribed valium 2mg and is helping somewhat. anyway to rid fluid quickly or wait?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

I'm confused: Your question makes no sense. The only kind of fluid buildup in the inner ear comes from meniere's disease. This causes repeated episodes of a spinning sensation that lasts hours. Fluid buildup in the middle ear can cause a temporary hearing loss and sometimes unsteadiness. Youn can't diagnose extra fluid in the inner ear just by looking. I need more info or a better exam.
