Can you open your mouth completely or there is difficulty in opening it?

At present I donot have have any problem to open my mouth, but there has been a minor decrease in size of mouth. I consulted a dentist immediately, & he prescribed me the same as quoted in my last msg. In my mouth, there is no ulcers but a lil bit of sore on both sides of the wall of the mouth.
Hello,
You have very early stage of submucosal fibrosis.If the disease is detected at a very early stage,cessation of the habit proves to be very effective.
Although LYCORED is a very good anti oxidant,there are other things to do also.
Treatment includes:
Abstention from chewing areca nut (also known as betel nut),tobacco and pan masala.
Minimizing consumption of spicy foods, including chiles
Maintaining proper oral hygiene
Supplementing the diet with foods XXXXXXX in vitamins A, B complex, and C and iron
Employing a dental surgeon to round off sharp teeth.
You must know that moderate to severe oral sub mucous fibrosis is irreversible,so make sure that you never eat pan masala again.
I hope it helps however you may revert to me for any further query.
Best of luck
Thanks
