Headaches and sore jaw after botox.

Thank you for your question.  I have had patients complain of headaches after Botox treatments; it usually subsides in a day or two.  As far as chewing difficulty, this seems very unlikely related to Botox.  Call your injector and let him/her know what you are experiencing.    Best of luck to you.  

Your symptoms do not sound botox related.  However there have been reports of people feeling some flu like symptoms after botox injections.

It isn't uncommon for a patient to develop a headache following Botox treatments although jaw pain is unusual. Are you sure you aren't coming down with the flu? If not, your symptoms should resolve in a few days and there shouldn't be any issue with your having future Botox treatments. Hope this helps. 

Headaches do happen but rather infrequently after Botox Administration. Most of the time it is related to an minor injury of the underlying nerve or sometimes it's just a bruise from penetrating a nearby small blood vessel. If you feel considerably better in the next few days, I would not be afraid to have to repeat treatment. See how it goes and keep us informed. Good luck from New York City

Thank you for your question bellagotti34. I am sorry to hear about your
situation. Botox is a purified protein used to address wrinkles associated with
facial expression. Headaches can occur after Botox and can be treated with Tylenol. Flu-like symptoms are rare, but typically resolve on their own. I have not heard of jaw discomfort after a treatment unless the Botox was placed in the masseter muscle in the lower face. Please consult with a doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!
