Recurrent Vertigo: Greetings. Vertigo that recurs makes us think of a few different possible causes. Each has its own specific treatment. I would recommend her seeing her doctor once again. If she was prescribed a medication to take with her previous episode, that medication may help. If it's not outdated. Different treatment I available for recurring vertigo episodes. Good Luck
