Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain sore throat and lumps on the roof of the mouth are also due to throat infection leading to inflammation and pain..
The infection is commonly bacteria [strep throat] while it can also be due to viral infection..
I would suggest you to consult an Otolaryngologist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like throat swab culture can help in diagnosis and treatment can be planned accordingly..
You can be advised to take antibiotics like Azithromycin or Levofloxacin..
Take anti inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen or Naproxen..
Do warm saline gargles and steam inhalations..
Suck throat lozenges and chew a Vitamin C pellet..
Avoid chilled and spicy food and drink plenty of water..
Take a soft diet to avoid irritation to throat..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
