What Causes Lump Below Armpit That Moves When Pressure Is Applied?

Hello,I'm a 44 year old male,in good health,except for a moderate depression,diagnosed a year ago. Lately,I noticed a lump in my ribs, 5 inches below my left armpit, and 3 inches from my left nipple. The lump feels semi-hard, and moves up and down a bit when I apply pressure with my fingers. So far is painless. Recently, I had to take antibiotics because of a laryngitis and coughing. I would appreciate your comments about my lump, as well as any suggestions.
