Kelly Key Says Husband Mico Freitas Is Being Treated for Suspected Labyrinthitis After Urgent Hospitalization

Treatment now includes corticosteroids, Betaserc, plus nasal drugs pending a definitive diagnosis.

Overview

  • Kelly Key reported on Nov. 19 that her husband was hospitalized urgently after an acute worsening of symptoms.
  • She said doctors are treating the case as labyrinthitis while additional specialists are consulted to secure the diagnosis.
  • Therapy has begun with a corticosteroid, betahistine (Betaserc) and two nasal medications.
  • Symptoms traced to late October include blocked ears, tinnitus, pronounced malaise, auditory hypersensitivity and sensitivity to light.
  • During a trip to South Africa, an ER doctor advised stopping rosuvastatin for suspected gastric irritation, which eased stomach issues but not the sensory problems.
