What Causes Numbness And Pain In Face After Taking Botox Injections?
I am experiencing numbness to the left side of my nose, as well as facial pain and congestion. The onset was Sunday. I went to my Dr. On Thursday and was diagnosed with Sinusitis. I was given Augmentin and Allegra D and Ibuprofen. I forgot to tell her I had gotten Botox injections 302-230-6358 my eyes on forehead and above both brows, upper forehead and side of both eyes 3 days prior to coming down with symptoms. I had Botox several times years ago and never had a problem. The 600 mg tabs of Ibuprofen do Not help with the pain nor has the numbness gone away. Do you think any of this could be related to Botox? Shouldn t I be feeling any relief from meds. Given for Sinusitis if that is what I have?
