Oral Sub mucous fibrosis
Hello,
I had a little inner cheek swollen it's not hard, it's flexible. I visited the doctor and he said SMF problem and gave me medicines like sm fibro twice a day and some medicine for twice a week (I can open my mouth at least 5.5cm and I gave up on areca nut chewing). Now it's been two and half months but still that inner cheek is swollen a bit and gives paining sensations a bit too and ear pains a little on that side only, so What should I do so that SMF can cure 100percent ?

To cure osmf 100% you can consider injections....but try some mouth opening exercises and multi vitamins along with Tess ointment. Apply that ointment thrice a day
