Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor's service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

Nausea and dizziness may be related to ingesting too much otrivine nasal spray.
You may need to stop using it since you are feeling nausea and dizziness.
Do not use it more often than three times daily and longer than 5 days.
It isn't much serious and you may feel better as you stop it.

Hope I have answered the question.
