Can Botox (Xeomin) on neck-platysmal bands cause difficulty swallowing that leads to ears pain?

September 29, 2023
Asked By:annam57 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Hello, i have recently started getting some xeomin on my platysmal bands, although i love the results i feel like ever since i began my journey i am always getting sick-almost like strep throat symptoms. Painful to swallow and a pain that hits my ears as well. I do not know if this is a side effect but as i mentioned above is it continous for me. I have been doing this a year tops and am starting to feel a bit scared as i may be causing more harm to myself than good. I would love advice
