So I got 20 units of botox in my forehead about 10 days ago. Now outta the blue I have a lymph node on my right side of my neck swollen like a bean and it's not move able . My neck hurts I fell hot but no fever went to dr and they tested me for strep. And was negative. I feel as if I'm going to get sick but I'm not. Could this be related and what can I do. I'm scared.
