Hi,
It seems that you might be having Sub mucous fibrosis in your buccal cavity giving rise unable to open your mouth.
Do regular exercises like opening your mouth wide as much as possible.
This will break fibrous tissues and gradually you will open your mouth properly.
Do gargles with Feel fresh lotion.
Some times giving local injection of steroid will help.
Ok and take care.
