Ear problems and disequilibrium due to Botox?

Question

My 7- 8th experience with Botox the last week of Nov 2018. Two days after injected in frown lines /crows feet (crows feet 2nd time). Woke up, cold, achy, headache, plugged left ear and disequilibrium. Today I continue to have ear problems. After 2nd week my right ear also started plugging, unplugging, crackling, issues with temperature changes. I've had antibiotics/ flonase. No relief of the disequilibrium/ ear issues. Is this related to botox? Can Botox travel to inner ear or nearby nerves?

Ron Shelton, MD · Answer

Your symptoms in all probability are not from Botox but from a upper respiratory infection that affected the middle and inner ears having difficulty equalizing pressure behind the ear drum and causing a labrynthitis and dizziness. See an ear nose and throat physician (ENT).The information provided in Dr. Shelton's answer is for educational purposes only and is not intended to constitute medical advice.  The information provided should not be relied upon as a substitute for consultations with a qualified health professional who may be familiar with your individual medical needs.
