How to Fix Botox Complications?

I had Botox about 3 days ago in Korea the doc did not gave me any aftercare instruction. Well I should had educated me self more because after about 9 hours later I had a facial massage!

Tthe next day, I felt the effect of the shot. I could not frown, but now at day 3, I am worried I have a tinggling sensation on my upper cheek and to the side of my jaw. Will I continue to be paralyzed? I am a little dizzy and have a headache. I am so afraid. Any help, please?
