Sinus infection immediately after Botox. Will these side effects subside soon?

June 10, 2015
Asked By:123mart in Australia, AU

I have developed a dreadful sinus infection almost as an immediate reaction after only get 6 units of botox in my forehead. The pressure is horrendous in my forhead from my imflamed and congested sinus. I'm two weeks post injections and I'm really hoping this subsides soon as it is causing me extreme anxiety and I am literally housebound. Will these side effects subside soon?
