The soreness at the site of injection can be reduced by placing an ice pack. If it continues, medicines like Ibuprofen or Acetaminophen may be taken.
Some people develop a headache, after being injected with Botox, which usually resolves in 1-2 days. Other symptoms like muscle soreness, weakness in the body, and difficulty in swallowing food are some of the other side effects, which will usually disappear in a short time.
Some patients develop Ptosis or droopy eyelids, which happens due to the migration of the toxin to other areas from the injected site. This usually will disappear after 3 weeks. Care should be taken not to rub the site for 12 hours after treatment or to lie down for 3-4 hours.
