Can labyrinthitis come from; infection from the surgery over a week back?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe: It depends on the type of surgery and type of anesthesia, to answer your question. By definition, labyrinthitis is an inflammation (swelling) of the labyrinth (inner ear). As such, labyrinthitis causes hearing loss (typically in one ear) and dizziness. If you are having dizziness without hearing loss, then you do not have labyrinthitis.
