Chronic otomastoiditis may cause dizziness. This condition is a common ear, nose, and throat disease. In severe cases, it can affect vestibular function to some extent, leading to dizziness and even causing symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and fever. Patients should promptly follow medical advice and use antibiotic medications for treatment.
