Vertigo caused by inflammation of the inner ear (labyrinthitis or vestibular neuritis) will last for days until the inflammation subsides. Attacks of vertigo due to Meniere's disease can last from 20 minutes to 24 hours. Vertigo is not usually common with acoustic neuroma (tumor), although it is more commonly associated with smaller tumors in the early stages. As the tumor grows, vertigo lessens or disappears.
1 Infection, such as the ones that cause the common cold or diarrhea, can cause temporary vertigo via an ear infection. 2  This inner ear infection is generally viral, harmless, and usually goes away in one to six weeks, but drugs are available if it is severe.
