Hi , kindly let us know how much is your mouth opening (you can measure it with a scale between your upper and lower incisors). Also let us know whether you can consume hot and spicy foods. This will help us to decide the stage of oral submucous fibrosis. The first thing you should do is to stop consumption of betel nut and tobacco otherwise no treatment will work. Oral submucous fibrosis is irreversible condition. Sm fibro is an antioxidant and you should take it for minimum 6 months. Anti oxidant rich diet will also help. You can apply lignocaine gel or triamcinolone 0.1% gel for relief in burning sensations. Also, you can get started with injection therapy for smf. I would advice you to take opinion of oral medicine specialist in you city.

For oral submucous fibrosis we have non-surgical and surgical treatment options depending on severity of diesase for natural treatment we suggest flax seed oil used to massage that area. It can be used as a replacement for regular cooking oil. It has many other benefits like reducing cholestrol level.
