Chewing Tobacco
I have been chewing tobacco but I have quitted it for six months. Still, suffering from cracks in the mouth which create burning sensation when eating. So plz tell me what to do in this. I have visited 3 doctors, they are only prescribing multi-vitamins. Is it sufficient? I have 3 fingers mouth opening. What to do for making moisture in the mouth?

The reason for burning sensation is due to the trauma caused to your superficial soft mucosal layer In your mouth .
Since your tissues have now lost elasticity your mouth opening is also restricted .
There are certain steroidal therapies and topical agents to cure it .
Certain exercises too are recommended for gradually increasing your mouth opening .

Plz consult your doc to look out for any malignancy or any other pathology . Do not opt for any over the counter pills or ointments by yourself , they may harm you more .
