What Causes Lump On The Neck Under Chin?
I just noticed tonight that my 1 1/2 year old son has a pea sized lump on the right side of his neck just under his chin. When i press lightly on it, it moves around a little. It doesn t seem to hurt him, but I ve never noticed it before. He also has no cold/shows no signs of illness....Should I take him to the doctor?

Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
This must be a lymph node.
It is normally present, but enlarges if there is any mile or even sub clinical infection.
You can see the doctor if it grows big or painful.
Otherwise nothing to worry.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
