Can the Department of Respiratory Medicine alleviate dizziness?

If dizziness is caused by an upper respiratory tract infection, treatment in the respiratory medicine department can usually relieve the dizziness. However, if the dizziness is caused by factors other than upper respiratory tract infection, treatment in the respiratory medicine department may not be effective. If abnormalities occur, timely medical attention is recommended. Detailed analysis is as follows:

If dizziness is caused by an upper respiratory tract infection, such as a common cold, inflammatory reactions in the nose, pharynx, and throat may affect the vestibular sensory system, leading to symptoms like dizziness and fatigue. At this point, a respiratory physician can determine the progression of the disease through tests such as a complete blood count and chest X-ray, and then provide effective treatment targeting the upper respiratory tract infection. This may include taking medications like paracetamol tablets, Ganmaoling granules, or aspirin enteric-coated tablets as directed by a physician. As the upper respiratory tract infection improves, the dizziness will also be relieved.

However, if dizziness is caused by conditions unrelated to upper respiratory tract infections, such as cervical spondylosis, cerebral ischemia, or cerebral hemorrhage, it cannot be directly alleviated in the respiratory medicine department. Since the underlying causes are unrelated to upper respiratory tract infections, treatment methods used in respiratory medicine are not applicable. Patients may need to be referred to other departments, such as orthopedics or neurology, for further diagnosis and treatment.

During treatment, patients should maintain good lifestyle habits, ensure adequate rest, follow a balanced diet, adjust their physical condition, and maintain overall health.
