A member asked:

Is there any treatment available for difficult swallowing after botox injections?

Specializes in Family Medicine

Botox where?: People get all kinds of botox injections. If this was for cervical dystonia , this is a known side effect. This is called dysphagia.You need to consult the person who gave this to you but I do not believe there is any resolution except time. Call the doctor that gave you the injection and talk with that person. Best wishes.
