Is Severe Pain Below The Ear An Allergic Reaction To Botox?
I had several Botox injections 3 weeks ago. I have never had an adverse reaction to these migraine-relieving shots. This time, however, I had severe pain below my right ear, down to my jaw. I had pain at the injection sites on my head along with swelling and itchiness. My dr. Wants me to take tapering steroids. Does this sound like an allergic reaction to Botox?
