Hello have gone through your query.first its God that you have stopped taken gut or pan masala.BT as you have taken it before you got a condition called oral submucous fibrosis(OSF).are you having any burning sensation also while taking spicy and hot food. Treatment for OSF is to quit the habit first DAT you have done. Take antioxidant tab with lycopene like ms fire tab twice daily for three months. Depending upon the severity escort gel or submucosal in can be taken. Check whether your mouth opening is three fingers, two fingers or even less. For severe cases surgical procedure can be done. Certain mouth exercise also helps to improve the symptomsVisit a dentist to find out severity of your condition. Hope this ans helpsRegards
