Several things can cause a difficulty in opening the mouth. One of those relates to habitual gutkha chewing. The habit is also one of the causes of mouth cancer. So you need to immediately stop the habit and visit a dentist near you to check and diagnose the reason for the limited mouth opening and also to check that there is no cancer.
Next Steps
visit a dentist for a check up mention your habit history .
