Can I Take Anything to Help with Severe Side Effects After Botox?
First time I'd ever had botox. Had it done on 6/16 that was a Wed, Friday 6/18 I was in the bathroom and felt as if I was gonna pass out, and I did. My husband came running in and said I was having a seizure (I have never passed out or had a seizure before) I couldn't breathe. I experienced hooding bad and my eyes hurt and won't focus. Nose hurts and swelled as well. Muscle weakness, stiff neck is killing me and my scm and trap is very swollen. What can I take, how long will this last?
