Swelling of the Cheek and Jaw Area
This is the symptom that is related to mumps the most. It is actually caused by the swelling of the parotid glands in the cheek and jaw areas, and this swelling is usually accompanied by pain. It may occur on one side or both sides of the face, and it usually starts from the lower part of the ears before extending downwards, and if not treated on time the swelling can become so big that the angle of the jawbone will disappear altogether. A symptom like this usually sets fear in the hearts of patients, but it is useless to panic. The best thing to do is to see a doctor as soon as possible when you notice one or more symptoms mentioned in this article. [9]
