Hi

Thanks for the query.

Well, within a month the mouth opening does not reduce so much

Also 3 finger mouth opening is considered normal. Also, I would like to tell you that staining inside mouth can be due to tobacco chewing habit and in-case if you stop chewing tobacco, gradually the discoloration will reduce.

If you feel thickening inside cheeks and tightness with blanching [blanching is whitish or pale appearance of the mucosa then you need to consult an oral physician and get checked so that he can rule out if there is any fibrous growth inside the cheeks and advise you medications accordingly.

Hope this helps.

Regards
