Symptoms: If your husband had the same symptoms & recovered without use of antibiotics, it makes a viral syndrome likely.

Headaches,dizziness: I've seen many cases of labyrinthitis but not with associated headaches going on for a week. Your dizziness does appear to be positional consistent with inner ear involvement which cannot be visualized with an otoscope. Migraine can be accompanied by vertigo. I'm not convinced your husband had the same disorder. If symptoms persist, I recommend consulting a neurologist for evaluation.

Good Afternoon, I have been sick since Saturday evening, no COVID, but upon blowing my nose my ear popped loudly. Since I was 9, tubes were put in my ears 3 x's ending at the age 14, both eardrums are cracked. Nausea, dizziness, headaches turn into migraines and unbalance Question is, usually my ear pops back after a day or so, but it's been 4 days and still feels like it's clogged. Should I use Debrox to unclog or get checked for possible Vertigo? Possibly both? Cracked/popped ear drum?
