My son has a lump behind his jugular,he has had a real bad cough and cold. could that be his lymph node?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: It can be a swollen lymph node. There are many nodes in the neck area and they are often enlarged with respiratory illnesses and sore throat. If he is not better in a few days or he gets worse from here on, he should be checked by his doctor
