Experiencing light headedness, dizzyness, and nausea 5 days post Botox, how long do flu-like side effects last?

MBS28
My first day I felt a bit foggy and headachy, but fine right after. Now 5 days later, I have begun feeling nauseas, light headed, and dizzy, and I see that others have also experienced flu-like symptoms post Botox as well. How can I tell if these symptoms are related, and if they are, how long can I expect these side effects to last?
