Chewing gutkha is a bad habit and must be stopped as early as possible. It increases the risk for getting cancer of oral cavity (mouth). Are you having any sores or non-healing ulcers in your mouth which are making it difficult for you to eat spicy foods? Avoid hot foods and drinks and if you have difficulty opening mouth, then you must see a doctor immediately for timely diagnosis and treatment. Take care.
