Can a Bump Emerge a Few Hours After a Botox Injection in the Crows Feet Area?

bow
I have had botox injections in the past without any problems. Today I had injections in my crows feet. About 3.5 hours after the injection I had a big coughing spell and then I noticed a big lump by the side of my right eye. I have iced it, but is still there and tender to the touch. Is this something to be concerned about? Is this a normal occurrence and should I expect it to disapate?
