Feeling of lump in throat during cold
I've had a cold for about 5 days. I had what I assumed to be tonsillitis but whatever it was is gone now, but there is a lump feeling in my throat around my Adams apple. I can only notice it when swallowing and don't really notice anything when looking for signs of it on my skin. I feel like it is just a swollen lymph node because of the cold but an opinion would definately help out.

You seem to be having enlargement of cervical lymph nodes secondary to infection you had recently. Usually no treatment is required as it will subside on its own. If lymph node is increasing in size or causing pain then further investigation and treatment is required
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
