Thanks for using Health Care magic.

Read your query.

Oral submucous fibrosis is regarded as precancerous condition which is not supposed to be neglected. Chewing Gutkha has to be stopped completely and compulsorily.

I would advice you to consult a oral surgeon at the earliest to evaluate the extent of the condition. Steroid injections will be helpful after considering the situation.

Multivitamins will also help you to maintain a good health .Keep on doing simple mouth opening exercises. Application of Triamcinolone acetonide buccal paste 2-3 times a day for one week can also aid . The last aid can be a surgical intervention.

Hope this was useful. Please have yourself checked with the dentist at the earliest.
Thanks and regards.
