April 20, 2022Hello. First of all, get well soon. We do not expect such a body reaction with Botox; however, anaesthesia drugs given in endoscopy or other drugs used in treatment may have caused this condition or the existing lung disease may have come to light. First of all, I would say that you should contact the team who performed the procedure again and then get an opinion from a pulmonologist.
