Every day i?ve to start from 10 stick side and 13 sticks middle then after a while I reach 13 side and 17 middle! why does?t it maintain it?s size by itself? Pls help and how many day do I need to do it?

You are suffering from oral submucous fibrosis likely .you need some medication and diet modifications alongwith mouth opening exercises. Take:- ?cap sm fibro once daily for a month with breakfast ?apply oraways buccal paste thrice daily for a week ?in diet take --- green leafy vegetables, tomatoes,skimmed milk, green tea ?apply a paste of tumeric mixed with water intraorally in cheek area ?mouth opening exercises can be in form of ice cream sticks as you may continue or take clip we use for drying clothes in sun and put the wider side of it between back teeth on both sides ?avoid alcohol and alcohol based mouthwashes ?avoid spicy and junk or fast foods.
