HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The lumps are likely related to the sore throat and hoarseness. They are likely enlarged lymph nodes , lymph nodes respond to infection/inflammation.
The sore throat, hoarseness may be due to allergies, infection.
You should rest your voice. In addition the use of topical steroid nasal sprays and oral anti histamines may help.
I hope this helps
