<human>: My 22 month old granddaughter has over the last couple of months been having dizzy spells, where her head will wobble, like she s trying to catch herself and then she will fall. This phenomena also happens while she s sitting on your lap, etc. it happens mostly in the morning, roughly every half an hour or so. She has been congested and had bronchilitus (about a month ago) and had 2 antibiotics to combat a virus. She is still congested, and pokes at her ears.
<bot>: Few things that cause dizziness / vertigo in a child : the likely cause in this child is middle ear infection which is usually followed a viral respiratory tract infection, and can cause vertigo. And diagnosis is made by horoscope by her pediatrician at the clinic. The second one is acute cerebellar ataxia which usually follow viral infections and this condition is post inflammatory and self limited will wean off by 2- 3 weeks. I hope this helps
