Heavy feeling and tingling in for head? Cold symptoms? 1 week post botox

kayla1289Feb 25, 2016
Hi- I received botox to my forehead one week ago. About 5 days after, I experienced runny nose and cough. Today- 1 week later- the cold symptoms continue and I have a heavy and tingling feeling in my forehead (not painful but strange and a bit annoying). Are the cold symptoms a side effect of botox- if so when will this end? When will the heavy/tingling stop? Thanks. Hoping to feel like myself again with the added bonus of a smooth forehead

There is no permanent ptosis from Botox.  If your eyes seem tired after drinking I suggest you consult a cosmetic dermatologist or surgeon to determine if you need a blepharoplasty.  Best, Dr. Green

It may be improper injection  or too much Botox.  Good news is that it will improve with time.  Every week should be better and mostly resolved in a few months.

It is rare to have a hypersensitivity reaction to Botox.  You can have the product skin tested ahead of time if you are concerned.  Best, Dr. Green
