Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The inability to chew the food can be secondary to mandibulo facial dystonia. It is a neuromuscular disorder. Nothing to be panic, consult a neurophysician and get it evaluated. You may have to take a botox neurotoxin injection which gives relief for 6 months to one year.
I hope I have answered your query, take care.
