This condition is called oral Submucous fibrosis. It has happened because of gutka chewing. In this fibres are formed in your cheeks which limits your mouth opening. This is a pre cancerous lesion.

Health Tips
avoid spicy food
Take multivitamins
Take healthy diet
massage your cheeks with thumb and forefinger
Try increasing your mouth opening by biting on ice cream sticks with your front teeth.

Eating Gutka for prolonged periods may cause a condition in the mouth called Oral sub mucous Fibrosis. In such a case similar symptoms will be there.. So first you have to stop the habbit immediately and consult a dentist.

Hello,
According to the symptoms that you’ve mentioned, you need to consult a Doctor soon. Consuming gutka gradually decreases your mouth opening. Because these fibrous bands get deposited on your oral mucosa. There will also be increased burning sensation on consuming spicy food
Next Steps
You need to start the meds as soon as possible. For more details, you can consult me
