Hi...its good that u have quitted the habit atleast for now.The restricted mouth opening u have is due to the condition called Oral submucous fibrosis.Don't worry.It can be treated by eliminating the habit permanently,taking good nutritional diet,proper medications and physiotherapy.In severe cases surgical options are also available.

Hello,
Please be calm
It's good you have quite gutka. Your condition can only be ruled out by examining your oral cavity an online consultation may not help.. Visit a oral medicine specialist as fast as possible.
