Meniere's disease is not life-threatening. Also known as Meniere's disease, it is caused by fluid accumulation in the inner ear labyrinth, leading to symptoms such as tinnitus, fluctuating hearing loss, revolving vision, and vertigo. When Meniere's disease occurs, we should first perform comprehensive examinations like cranial MRI and high-resolution CT of the temporal bone to confirm the diagnosis. Treatment primarily involves vasodilators, nerve nutrition, hormones, and vestibular suppressants to improve local symptoms. Additionally, during an episode, it is advisable to rest in a supine position, ensure adequate rest, avoid staying up late, and maintain a light diet to alleviate symptoms.
