My friend had a habit of chewing Pan Masala and because of it he is unable to stretch his mouth fully. As a normal person can insert his four fingers wide into the mouth, my friend can insert only two. He has left now chewing Pan Masala but still its really hard for him to stretch his mouth... Plz guide what he should do or use so his mouth can come into normal position..
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your question, the limited mouth opening is secondary to oral sub mucous fibrosis (stiffening of oral mucosa) which occurs due to pan chewing...it's good that you have stopped the habit... the main treatment option will be like use of antioxidants, intro lesional injections into the fibrosis cheek area with steroids and hyaluronate....other than that surgical removal of the fibrosis bands and restoration with grafts... consume food containing more of turmeric....consult an oral physician for needful.I hope my answer will help you, with regards
