Swollen node

2017-03-09 02:34:06
I've had a cold and I was feeling around in my neck and felt a lump right where the carotid artery is. I know that lymph nodes can be swollen from something such as a cold but I'm also worried. On the other side of my neck there is no lump. Could this just be from the cold or is it something more serious?
