20 mm mouth opening is less and needs immediate attention. Only medication and quiting the habit will not help
Next Steps
U will require agressive physiotherapy and intralesional injection to release the band's.
Health Tips
Visit a maxillofacial surgeon and until then continue the medications. Do u have burning sensation as well while taking hot n spicy foods.

Visit dentist, oral medicine and radiology specialist. Intralesional may be introduced, only after proper clinical examination. Do mouth exercises along repeatedly throughout the day.
