Hi
Thanks for writing in.
I suspect what you saw in your throat were ectopic lymph nodes that were swollen because of the throat infection that you have.
I would advice you to gargle with warm saline water to get some relief from your pain and watch your situation for a couple of days.
If it's a viral infection, your condition will improve in a couple of days.

However, if you have cough or sputum, please see your doctor right away for a physical examination and starting a course of antibiotics.

Hope this helps! Please feel free to write back for any more questions that you may have.
