Dizziness

Dizziness may occur because of all the trauma the body is experiencing while fighting flesh-eating bacteria. A high fever, excessive vomiting, diarrhea and dehydration may also cause a person to feel dizzy and disoriented.

Management for all symptoms in a hospital setting may help individuals with dizziness associated with necrotizing fasciitis. As the infection is addressed and the associated fever is reduced, a person may notice less dizziness as they recover.
