Are Bumps Near The Pharyngopalatine Arch Related To Cancer?

I had a fever and fast pulse back in late November went to doctor thought it was throat infection given antibiotics had to go back twice took amoxicillin, cephalexin, and rocephin. My throat is still very red and there are bumps/lumps by the pharyngopalatine arches. I just went back and I am currently on ceftin but it still looks the same. Could this be something serious like cancer? My wbc were high in november.
