Brief Answer:
First tried conservative treatment

Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir,
I have gone through your query; and suggest you that first tried the conservative treatment for at least three month, if no improvement by this then only go for surgical management.

For your kind information conservative treatment of oral sub mucous fibrosis in our patient includes
1. Retromolar injection of kenacort and hyanase once in the week for three months if not contraindicated.
2. Lycopen containing multivitamin once a day for three months.
3. Exercise for increasing the space of mouth opening.
4. Avoid betel nut chewing and spicy food.

Wish you speedy recovery.

Thanks
