Hello Non surgical treatment options are there but it depends on the staging of OSMF. You will need a thorough consultation for that.

Hi  If u could attach photographs by placing ur 3 finger  vertically in mouth ,if possible to see the mouth opening,n pics of oral cavity. Detail history will be helpful in appropriate suggestion. If it is oral sub mucous fibrosis. Please go for Intra lesional  injections. U could also try OSMF mouth opening kits which include pops,gel, tablet, and mouth opening device.
Next Steps
kindly visit the nearby dental surgeon for physical examination and treatment will be followed.
