Asked By:AnnaSweden in New Sweden, ME

2 days after, as I felt the botox over lip, I felt something in my throat, and difficulty swallowing. Next day my tonsil under the jaw was swollen. Head itching. Hives on legs. Pain in ears. Later hives on arms, face, body and felt like my face would burn up. Numbness and sensations in the face, lips, tongue, throat, legs and arms. 18 days later it's on going. I'm so afraid! Can I die? Can the botox be spreading and develop to botulism? Can I get an allergic chock? What to do? Use antihistamine.
