I Hade Botox Injections Above my Lip and One Injection when Through and Squirted into my Mouth and Dripped Down my Throat?

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 swallowing for a short time. 

Thank you for your question. A very small dose of Botox is used to treat the wrinkles of the lips. Also, Botox is quite labile, meaning that the little bit dripped into your mouth would become likely unactive quite quickly. Any of the symptoms that you are experiencing would not be expected to be caused by Botox. As botox only works on muscle cells, it would not effect the thyroid.

I would suggest contacting your primary care physician to discuss the symptoms that you are having.

Best of luck.

    Botox acts to paralyze muscles and in a high enough dose could cause relaxation of the muscles in the aerodigestive tract.  However, the agent would have to be directly injected into those areas to be effective.
