  Another uses of Botox in Otolaryngology is in mandibular joint neuralgia (Costen's syndrome) and in sialorrhea (hypersalivation). In first case Botox is injected into the temporomandibular joint and in second case small amounts of Botox are injected directly into the submandibular salivary glands or other major salivary glands. Treatment of hypersalivation by local injections of Botox into the salivary glands of the head is a reliable and efficient therapy without side effects for certain otolaryngological diseases, especially if injections are performed under sonographic control.
