Had Botox injections in forehead, a few hours later started getting a headache. Next day felt weak and nauseous with headache. A week later still have headaches and have flue like symptoms. Should I be worried?
Answer: Botox and headache Although most side effects to botulinum toxins are extremely rare, they are not unheard of. Reactions can range in severity from person to person, so it's important to inform your doctor of your symptoms as they occur. Headaches are the more common side effect of botulinum toxin type A injections and usually subside within 24-72 hours. You may also want to follow up with a primary care doctor to rule out any cold or flu. It's important to see a board certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist for botulinum and dermal filler injections. Plastic surgeons and Dermatologist are educated to manage these types of medications and any complications. All the best.
