What Could Be Reason Behind Developing Lump/bulges In Jugular Vein Of Child?
My, just 4 year old, son has a couple small lump/bulges in his jugular vein that only show up when he talks any louder than in a normal voice. It s about the size of a pea. He has had no medical problems or other symptoms that I am aware of. What can this be?

Hi
Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day
Multiple small lumps along the jugular vein are likely to be either jugular group of LYMPH NODES or localized blow out in jugular vein which could be normal.
I suggest you to send us clinical photograph for further confirmation.
Take Care
