Hello Noor Ali The limited mouth opening is often a side-effect of treatment (surgery or radiotherapy) which can involve/affect the jaw muscles. There are exercises you can do to help regain some improvement. Please read through these past posts on trismus as you will find them informative and helpful to your situation.
