Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

IVIG can rarely cause dizziness and nausea. It is due to immune response and it will resolve spontaneously. As of now drink plenty of water or IV fluids to keep you hydrated. If you have any symptoms like breathlessness this use to emergency department.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
