I got tear trough filler and upper cheek filler 2ml total two weeks ago. I went in with a minor cold and now two weeks later have debilitating migraines and sinus pressure. I am on ammoxicillin for 5 days now with no change and just started 40mg of prednisone and 10 hours later is minor change. Not too sure. Could this filler have exasperated my cold to a full blown sinus infection? I’ve only had two now in my life and the other time I had also just received filler. What can I do to feel better?
