Botox and Z-pak Safe?

September 18, 2012
Asked By:NormaJeanNC

I had 25 cc injected in my forehead. I was not feeling well that day and later had a fever. I went to my general physician the next day and was given the z-pak. Do I need to be concerned about a reaction? I did forget to mention to my doctor that I had the botox procedure done the day before. Should i call my physician?
