Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
The symptoms which you are mentioning it looks that you might have a disease which is known as oral submucous fibrosis, it occurs because of habit of chewing tobacco and gutkha and there will be gradually decrease in mouth opening with burning sensation to spicy food.
For the treatment you have to start with an antioxidant like lycopene twice daily for two months and topical steroid ointment in both the cheek mucosa.
Hope it will help you.
