Mouth not opening

Question

Mouth not opening

Asked for Male, 28 Years

Hi, I started having mouth ulcers frequently over last 2-3 weeks while increased to a point now that i cannot eat anything. Suddenly two days back i felt my mouth is not at all opening ( earlier mouth opening was also less due to tobbaco habit) . I consulted doctor straight away as i have already quitted chewing tobacco last month. Now my current status is jaw is not at all opening( doctor said that my wisdom teeth are getting in and there is no space ) and as currently my mouth is not opening he cannot remove them. So currently he said w e have to wait till ulcer gets well. Now near my jaw joints i feel certain cuts which pains. Any suggestions are welcome
