Why is my Mouth Drooping on One Side when I Had Botox in my Forehead?

Taff
I had botox in my forehead and crows feet on 31st March - I have had the treatment 3 times before by the same practice with no side effects. Within a week of having the treatment I noticed that my eyelids have gone puffy and that the right hand side of my mouth is drooping. The drooping is particulary noticeable when I am talking or smiling and looks a little like I have had a mini stroke. I contacted the practice who advised that it should go away within 7 to 10 days. Is this normal? Thanks
