Answer 1

Patients with vestibular neuritis generally suffer from severe vestibular symptoms for one to two days, followed by a gradual diminution of symptoms and a return of equilibrium. While the acute illness rarely lasts more than several days to a few weeks, residual imbalance and nonspecific dizziness may persist for months. Sorry, hang in there.
