What Causes Difficulty In Opening The Mouth?

Hello, I am Mitul from India. My issue is I can not open my mouth properly. I was chewing tobacco but since last 2 months I stopped it completely. But still I am not able to open my mouth. I want to ask you that is there any Homeopathy treatment or medicines available on this problem? And if it is available then please tell me and also tell me if it is available in India as well. Looking forward to your replies. Please help me urgently. Thanks
