Hi, your condition seems like it is OSMF. Dont worry it can be cured but you have to cooperate and have to take proper treatment and followups.
For this treatment we have to do clinical examination and then according to the grade of mouth opening we can decide your treatment plan weather your treatment will be done by only taking medicine or by steroid injections.
Please attach pic for your mouth opening.
Next Steps
Visit dentist for clinical examination as soon as possible.
Health Tips
Quit your habit and avoid having spicy food for sometime.
Do some exercise for mouth opening like hold water in your mouth for few mins and spit. Repeat this 5 times thrice in a day. For more discussion contact on personal chat box.
