Brief Answer:
Hi, probably looks like viral throat infection.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to health care magic,
The symptoms you are suffering from looks like an viral throat infection. As you are not suffering from fever there is no need for an antibiotic.
Do povidine iodine gargling and steam inhalation which gives you some relief.
The lumps which you are getting are lymphnodes, it happens to many people when they have unnoticed infections. If they persists for more days then get examined by a doctor, or else no need to worry.
hope the information was helpful
take care.
