Can Antibiotics For Ear Infection Be Used After Having Botox Injection?

I recently had botox injections two days ago only in between my eyebrows, so a small amount. No bad reaction to mention...however, I have had a bad ear infection prior and just received amoxicillin to treat the ear can I take it knowing that I had the injections two days ago? Will the botox in my system counter act with the medicine?

I appreciate your concern for the safety of antibiotics in presence of botox injection.
Botox (botulinum toxin) injection when injected between the eyebrows for the treatment of frequent blinking of the eyes has more of localized actions in the muscles injected without any generalized effects. Therefore botox injection has no interaction with Amoxicillin used for ear infection.
Hope your doubt has been clarified.
Best regards.
