I'm Having Difficulty Swallowing Within Minutes After Botox Injections.

October 10, 2011
Asked By:Regan.S in Fort Worth, TX

I've been receiving botox injections in my forehead area every 4 mths for 11 Yrs without a problem until this year. Within minutes after injections I'm having difficulty swallowing. I don't understand why this would affect my swallowing since the only area I inject is my forehead. Could it be possible I might be experiencing some sort of reaction after many years of use?
