Hi,
Congratulation for stopping chewing tobacco.
You developed submucous fibrosis giving rise to this problem.
It will take some time to get improvement in your condition.
Go for regular mouth opening exercise like wide opeing your mouth, for 5 minutes 3-4 times a day.
Do Feel fresh gargles.
Local cortizone injection may give result.
Ok and take care.
