I’ve had negative experiences with Botox and cortisone injections to manage hypertrophy and focal chronic inflammation of major and minor salivary glands. Anything that shrinks gland tissue seems to do so by impairing/inhibiting functionality, which is unwanted. And injecting soft tissue is hard to control, as it travels 3-dimensionally. Does 5-FU work differently? Is it effective to remove post-surgical scar tissue (from minor gland excisions in oral cavity)? Side effects?
