Upper respiratory tract infection can cause inflammation and lymph node swelling in the pharynx which can be seen in the posterior pharyngial wall sometimes with inflammatory exudates.
So, If I were your treating doctor I would have prescribed you a course of antibiotics with advise on salt water gargling and plenty of fluids for relief.
All the best.
