I can't open my mouth fully while eating or chewing the food. Earlier I was chewing gutkha but now since 6 months I am not chewing gutkha, but still I am having the problem and have pain in both the side jaws.

You are suffering from submucous fibrosis. You will need to take steroids to reduce the fibrous lesions and start some mouth exercise to improve your mouth opening.
