It can be caused by several things. Lymph nodes enlarge when they fight infection. If you have the flu, that's likely what's causing it.
Also, if you shave your armpits (I don't know if you are male or female) too close you can cause ingrown hairs and that can cause the nodes to swell.
Don't be too concerned unless it continues for over a week. Longer than that and you should see a doctor.

Your armpts have many lymph nodes so you could be suffering from a cold or the flu. Keep an eye on them and if they don't go away you should see a doctor to be sure.
