I understand your concerns about your osmf and wanting to avoid surgery. While I can't offer medical advice or prescribe medication, I can provide some information about non-surgical approaches to managing osmf that might be helpful to you. It's important to remember that there is no single "best" medication for osmf. The effectiveness of various treatments depends on the severity of your condition, specific symptoms, and individual response. Seeking proper medical evaluation is crucial for determining the most suitable treatment plan. However, here are some non-surgical options that have shown some promise in managing osmf: 1. Injections: hyaluronidase: this enzyme helps break down excess collagen, potentially improving mouth opening. Corticosteroids: these can reduce inflammation and fibrosis, leading to some improvement in mouth opening. 2. Physiotherapy: mouth opening exercises: regular stretching and opening exercises can help maintain and potentially improve mouth opening. Ultrasound therapy: this may help break down scar tissue and improve tissue flexibility. 3. Nutritional supplements: antioxidants: these may help reduce oxidative stress and inflammation, potentially slowing down the progression of osmf. Vitamin e: studies suggest potential benefits in reducing fibrosis and improving mouth opening. Iron deficiency: treating iron deficiency may improve symptoms in some cases. 4. Other therapies: laser therapy: emerging research suggests potential benefits in reducing fibrosis and improving mouth opening. Capsaicin: may reduce burning sensation associated with osmf. It's crucial to consult a qualified healthcare professional, preferably an oral physician or maxillofacial surgeon specializing in osmf, to discuss your options and determine the most appropriate treatment plan based on your individual situation. They can assess the severity of your condition, advise on the effectiveness of different treatment options, and address any potential risks or side effects. Remember, early intervention and regular follow-up are crucial in managing osmf. While surgery might be a necessary option in severe cases, exploring non-surgical alternatives with your healthcare professional can help you manage your condition and find the best path forward. I hope this information provides a helpful starting point for your discussion with your doctor. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any further questions.
