Prevention measures
Preventing labyrinthitis consists primarily in the prompt treatment of respiratory tract infection or any ear. In addition, it should avoid the following risk factors:
 - Alcohol abuse
 - Smoking
 - Overwork, which causes fatigue and stress
Other measures to avoid worsening of symptoms and prevention of complications:

 - Within 2 -3 days: full bed rest and avoidance of head movements, to the extent possible
 - In the first 2 to 3 nights: it sleeps with the head elevated 45 ° from the rest of the body (either by putting several pillows under your head, or by sleeping on an adjustable chair)
 - After this initial period, we recommend gradual resumption of normal activities, as the brain corrects loss of balance. This process is called compensation and consists in ignoring false motion signals received by the brain. However, it is recommended to avoid sudden head movements or body. Although prolonged fasting prevents attacks of vertigo, it also delays the clearing process.
 - The temporary acvitati involves a certain degree of risk: driving cars, climb stairs, operate some heavy machinery. These recommendations are valid one week after symptoms disappear. These activities will be resumed gradually.
 - As soon as there is a feeling of dizziness, the patient must sit.
 - Use a stick for better stability
 - Avoid direct gaze toward a light source
 - Quitting smoking
 - Avoid alcohol and caffeinated beverages because they can worsen symptoms
