LABYRINTHITIS, THE CAUSES
The causes of labyrinthitis have not yet been fully clarified although it is thought they may be related to the presence of viruses or bacteria that have directly affected the ears (for example in case of otitis or mumps) or the upper respiratory tract then coming to give problems also to the labyrinth.
However, it is not excluded that labyrinthitis may also appear following very stressful situations or as allergic reaction to taking certain medications or due to ear surgery.
Among the viruses that can cause labyrinthitis are the cytomegalovirus, those of exanthematous diseases such as chicken pox, measles and rubella, herpes virus but also that of the flu. As for bacteria, however, it is often involved cyanobacteria or other species of streptococcus or staphylococcus although they could also cause Escherichia coli and in very rare cases mycobacterium tuberculosis or meningitis.
REMEDIES FOR LABYRINTHITIS
As already mentioned, labyrinthitis is an inflammatory disease not to be taken lightly to avoid irreversible consequences such as ear damage, chronic disease and even, in severe cases, hearing loss.
We therefore advise you to promptly contact your doctor at the first suspicious symptoms to evaluate the possible presence of labyrinthitis and immediately start a therapy based on anti-inflammatory drugs, antibiotics (if of bacterial origin) or other to be evaluated case by case.
Unfortunately when labyrinthitis is present natural remedies can only be collateral to the use of traditional drugs and in any case must be calibrated on the advice of an expert. Good results are obtained, for example, with plantar reflexology which is able to act on the ear area by massaging some specific points.
