Can allergies/ear infection cause fluid buildup along jawline?
Best answer: Yes, this is possible. HOWEVER, there is a mumps outbreak in the US, centered in Iowa but spreading to surrounding states, and pain and swelling in the jaw area is a hallmark of mumps. Mumps is contagious in the same way that the flu is

Mumps is contagious in the same way that the flu is--through coughing or sneezing, or touching contaminated objects.
If you have other symptoms, like a fever, say, you should see a doctor. (You should probably see a doctor anyway, as an infection like the one you describle is probably painful and unlikely to clear up quickly by itself.)
