Is a Slight Persisent Little Cough a Side Effect After Using Dysport?

Thank you for your question. Sometimes people can have flu-like symptoms with Botox or Dysport. If your cough has not subsided with or if your symptoms worsen, I would seek medical attention with your primary care physician. It may not be related to the injections and you may have contracted a virus which your primary doctor can evaluate. Be certain to be under the supervision of a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon with expertise in injectables for the safest and most effective treatments. I hope this helps.

The most common side effects of Dysport are nose and throat irritation, headache, injection site pain, injection site skin reaction, upper respiratory tract infection, eyelid swelling, eyelid drooping, sinus inflammation, and nausea.Therefore, your cough could have something to do with a throat irritation, one of the reported side effects. I would suggest speaking with your doctor about how to resolve this issue. Best of luck.

Hi Maria.  We have never heard of nor experienced a cough as a side effect of Dysport injections.  It's very likely that the two are unrelated.  The most common side effects for Dysport are below.

Headache, injection site pain, injection site redness/reaction, upper respiratory tract infection, eyelid ptosis (sagging) and nausea.
