Hi.
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC.

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain inability to open mouth with a history of tobacco chewing habit seem to be due to a condition known as Oral Submucous Fibrosis..
In this condition there is formation of thick fibrous bands inside the cheeks and lips and there is reduced mouth opening as well as stiffening...
You should consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated and he can advise you to apply Steroid and Hyluronidase containing ointments..
Intra lesional injection of steroids and Hyluronidase can also be given at the site of fibres to help in loosening and breaking the fibers..
Take antioxidants like Lycopene..
Mouth opening exercises can also be advised..
Take Multivitamin supplements and drink plenty of water..
Completely stop tobacco chewing as it can lead to Oral Cancer in future..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
