My 4 year old daughter has a bulging vein on the left side of her neck and when she cries or yells it is huge and bulges like it is about to bust..it seems to me to appear to be getting larger but it doesnt seem to bother her any...just being a super worried mom?

Hi Thanks for writing to Healthcare magic
It would be more informative if I could see a photo or a vedio. From your description I can only infer it as a superficial vein which is distending on increased blood pressure , that is while crying, or shouting even squatting might cause same.
If she has no weight loss, no extra swellings noted, growth is fine, and no other obvious symptoms, You need not worry.
. In case there is any other query I would be more than happy to answer, else rate the answer and close the discussion. Thanks
