This is my 3rd time getting botox, last time, in 2011, she used disport. I always go to the same place, nothing different. But this time, I had INTENSE pain immediately after being injected, for about 10 minutes. I had localized swelling and head pain all day. The swelling seems to be spreading. I'm in contact with her and I'll see my PP if I need to, but is there really anything that can be done. I mean, we can't un-inject it. Im taking 1000mg of advil every 6 hours now.

It is difficult to give a definite answer to this question, without being aware of the details of the procedure as well as your anatomy prior to the procedure.
In your question you mentioned that you have had Botox injections. Neuromodulators can give you drooping of your lip. ...
It is highly unlikely that the dilation of your vessels is related to the Botox injections. It could be related to other underlying conditions or other systemic issues and suggest that you speak to your primary care physician.
I do not think that you can swallow enough Botox to effect any function. Once it gets to your stomach the acidic environment probably inactivates it so do not worry about absorption If you got numbing cream in your mouth it will make your mouth feel funny and might even give you trouble...
