Whoa there, Linda: Dizziness & vertigo can be frustrating symptoms for doctors because the cause is often obscure. But in an otherwise healthy teenager, the cause is also highly likely to be benign & self-limited. It could be a viral labyrinthitis, which like most viral infections goes away after a few days. 2 days of vertigo is like 2 days of a cold: inconvenient but just be a patient patient & wait it out.
