Headache forehead and bridge of nose a week after botox for migraines how can I stop it??

Question

I had botox for migraines 6 days ago to be precise. About 2 days later to currently I've had a permanent terrible headache main I the bridge of nose region and my forehead which feels extremely pressurised and tight which is causing a horrible headache :( This was my first lot. I asked him to Inject less than he normally would as I'm sensitive to medications so he did about 3/4 My headaches are always at the back and I don't suffer with them at the front as I am since botox :(

Thank you for your question and I am sorry to hear of your migraine headache.  With the series of injections needed for Botox administration some patients will develop a headache in the first few days after treatment.  As the Botox takes effect, this headache should steadily resolve, but you can take Tylenol or Excedrin to help the headache resolve.

Botox has been known to create some headaches to some patients the first few days after injection. If this does not resolve after a few more days, please make sure you consult with your Botox injector.
