How To Treat Prominent Vein In A 3 Years Old Child?
Hi, my three year old son has quite prominent vein on the right hand side of his neck. When his heart rate is up a small bulge in the vein becomes more prominent approximately 6mm in length. It has been there for some time is this anything to be concerned about? Thank you.

HI If your kid is not having any symptoms of weakness/getting tired easily,breathing difficulty,loss of consciousness/fall, no need to worry even prominence of vein-external jugular is common.Please consult a child specialist once who will examine him further.
