I had Botox injections in my forehead one week ago and I'm suffering from some side effects. Any suggestions?

My eyelids have been swollen, I have a constant heavy headache feeling in my forehead, constant tiredness and swallowing feels really unnatural. Will these side effects go away and are they normal? My injections were administrated by a nurse at a clinic where she does regular Botox and filler treatments. I have spoken to other clients who have had none of these effects. I had a small amount and have a top up consultation with her next week, (won't be topping up!) Thankyou for all replies.
