Why Do I Have a Bloodshot Eye and Pain in Eye 3 Days After Botox?

Finater5
I recently had Botox injected into my forehead and between my brows 30 units total. 2 days later, I woke up to pain in my right eye, and a very bloodshot eye. I went back to the medspa where I had it done, and was told it was unrelated. A trip to my eye doctor revealed I have inflammation in my eye. Dr prescribed me prednisolone eye drops. 3 days after using that drops my eye continues t worsen. Redness is worse, pain in worse. No discharge and my eyes aren't watery. Could this be from Botox?
