Does Meniere's disease require long-term medication?
Meniere's disease is a relatively common otolaryngological condition, primarily characterized by recurrent episodes of vertigo, tinnitus, and hearing loss. Generally, conservative treatment with medications is considered, but most patients only require medication during acute episodes. In daily life, it is necessary to adjust one's diet to avoid spicy and stimulating foods, follow a low-salt diet, and avoid consuming coffee, strong tea, alcohol, and smoking. Most patients can control and alleviate their symptoms through these adjustments without the need for long-term medication. If the results are not satisfactory, some patients may need to consider surgical treatment. (Specific medication use should be conducted under the guidance of a doctor.)
