Swollen lymph node on the outer part of my armpit. it doesn't hurt, it is also firm feeling. i've had a cold, i noticed this 2 days ago. help!

Need to examine: Axillary lymph nodes are usually deep in the armpit. What you described, may not be a lymph node. In any case check it about once a week. If it becomes bigger, painful or the skin over it becomes red, please see a doctor.
