Kindly visit dentist for clinical assessment you might have oral submucous fibrosis.

Anshumali Srivastava · Answer

The best and most advanced therapy for your problem (OSMF) is laser surgery in which your problem will resolve in a day and healing in a month. Otherwise, conventional therapy with jaw exercises, medicines and injection will take about 1 to 1.5 years. For laser surgical correction you can contact me personally for needful information.

Quit gutka habit completely and visit a dentist for counselling.

Bharat Grover · Answer

Don't try to open your mouth forcefully in order to insert 3 fingers. As it can lead to TMJ (Temporo mandibular joint) dislocation. Better try to remain away from gutkha and do up and down exercise of your jaws only upto a comfortable zone.

David Charles P · Answer

You should be suffering from OSMF. You have to visit a dentist because only upon oral examination the severity of the disease can be understood and based on that only you can be treated.

Ruchi Mishra · Answer

Apply ointment Kenacort 3-4 times a day in your cheek area within mouth. Do not massage the ointment, just apply a thin layer of it. Do some mouth exercises like blowing and holding for 30 sec each and continue this for 5-10 mins. Do this as much as you can. If you are unable to understand this exercise, better visit your nearest dentist for proper explanations. Also you may need some intra lesional injections which will certainly increase your mouth opening. Visit a good dentist for the same.
