Potentialy bad: This may not be good. Get in touch with an ER or your original injector ASAP.

It will resolve: Botox for what wrinkles on the forehead ( cosmetic) or for medical problems like muscle spasm or vocal cord dystonia. Was the injection in the neck? Again cosmetic or for spasm . This is a known side effect and it will get better but will take weeks to a few months . Make sure it is not progressing to the point where you can not swallow without choking. Tell the doctor who injected you
