Hi . It seems you are having allergic rhinitis , which has similar symptoms. But dont use otrivin or any other inhaler without doctors advise . If your symptoms still persists you can take anti allergic e.g levocetrizine 10mg at night for 5days and use nasoclear nasal drops twice to clear the dust from nose .
Next Steps
consult a doctor if not gets relived from above

Please elaborate your symptoms in bit more detail.
Why are you inserting the finger in your nostril? This is not advised under any circumstances.
Also prolonged use of otrivin is not recommended. So if you have already used it for 5 yo 7 days, and feeling better now, please stop it
Since you are recovering, the only advice to be followed here is steam inhalation 10 min twice a day. No nose picking.
Next Steps
Please consult with more details on your issue if not improving.
