Is A Visible Bulging Jugular Vein In My 2 Year Old A Cause Of Concern?
Hi I am curious about a bulging jugular vein in my 2 year olds neck on his left side, this is always present especially visible when he laughs or cries. I laid him on his back with his neck elevated to 45 degrees to see it bulge when he is rested. Should I be worried!?
