Course of disease
The course of dizziness in a cold depends on the severity of the cold. In most cases, it is a harmless cold that subsides after a few days. With this, the dizziness also goes back and usually no consequences remain.
Therefore, the course of dizziness with a cold is very mild in most cases. However, especially in small children, the cold can cause the pathogens to migrate to the middle ear and lead to middle ear infection. With this disease, dizziness persists and medical treatment should be given promptly.
Duration/Prediction
The duration of dizziness with a cold depends on how pronounced the cold is. The duration of dizziness varies greatly and can range from a few seconds to several minutes. If the nose and sinuses are blocked, dizziness can also occur depending on the position of the body.
The prognosis of dizziness with a cold is in most cases very good, as the symptom usually disappears with the end of the cold. If complications occur, such as an inflammation of the middle ear, therapy should be initiated as soon as possible.
