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.
