Thanks for your question on HCM.
Submucous oral fibrosis (SMOF) is a pre malignant lesion for oral cancer.
There are no medicines available to revert fibrosis.
Best treatment option is physiotherapy. In this gradually increasing number of sticks or fingers are introduced in your mouth and kept them for 20-30 minutes. So they will stretch your oral opening gradually. This method can give relief in mouth opening.
But for severe cases surgical nicks are put in fibrosis and try to achieve oral opening.
Start multivitamins containing zinc and folic acid for prevention of further fibrosis.
