I had botox for migraines 4 days ago and during the procedure got REALLY nauseated (which I assume was normal) and I am still nauseated, but my question is now the left side of my jaw is in a lot of pain radiating from one of the injection sites (above the ear), is this normal? The pain isn't constant and wakes me up at night/keeps me awake and Ibuprofen and acetaminophen are not helping with the pain. What can I do?
