Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

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

As per your complain it seems that you are suffering from Granular Pharyngitis leading to bumps in throat and can be due to either bacterial or viral infection..
I would suggest you to consult an Otolaryngologist and get evaluated and a throat swab culture can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly..
You can be advised to take a course of antibiotics like Azithromycin, anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen, do warm saline gargles, steam inhalations and use a humidifier in your room..
Suck throat lozenges and chew Vitamin C pellets..
Avoid spicy and chilled foods.
Drink plenty of water and you can also gargle with numbing mouthwash to relieve pain..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
