Stop betalnut, gutkha, panmasala or any tobacco products if you are using. Take fresh fruits and vegetables, reduce stress, further can be advised only by complete examination.

Your problem can be due to number of reasons, the most imp reason which is common is due to habit of eating supari and other pan masala products or tobacco products. If you have such habits than just stop. Otherwise it will be very harmful. Your intraoral examination is imp so get it done as clinics open after this pandemic corona. For now you can do some mouth opening exercises like -inflating ballons, -icecream stick exercise, -you can apply ointment called kenacort 2 times daily over the area where you feel more burning sensation and -do start with a capsule called ora relief once daily.

Hi Mr. lybrate-user. Do you have any chewing habits (paan/ tobacco/ gutkha/ betelnut)? If so, please quit immediately. As for the burning sensation, you can use some otc mouth ulcer gel for now. Specific treatment would be possible only after a more thorough evaluation. For now, don't do any jaw exercises as, depending upon the cause, the restricted mouth opening might worsen. Also, if the restricted mouth opening worsens significantly or suddenly, or the burning increases, or additional features appear (e.g. Pain, gum or facial swelling, foul smell or taste in the mouth, fever etc.) please call your dentist or a hospital emergency department for evaluation.
