Hello XXXX.

Thanks for consulting Healthcare magic .

I have read your query and understand your concern . As you have fluid like film on jawline and thick sticky saliva this can be due to some reason which include : salivary gland stones , infection in bone (pus discharge ) , Drug induced , chronic sinus infection , Diabetes , GERD.
For this I will suggest you to consult Oral surgeon for clinical examination and investigation like Intra oral periapical radiograph to confirm the diagnosis .

Can you upload image (picture ) of jaw that will be more helpful for me to arrive at conclusion and give you proper diagnosis . You have feature to upload image by yourself on right side of query page . Please utilize it .

Based on detail provided l will suggest you to do Drink lots of water , Maintain good oral hygiene, do warm saline gargle 3 to 4times a day , avoid taking too much diary products , you can take vitamin C supplement by consulting with local doctor .

Awating for picture to comment further .
