Is It Due To Cancer There Is Yellowish Raised Lumps,swelling And Tonsils On Throat?

Hi, I ve had ongoing sore throats now about 6/7 In the space of two two months. The most recent one that I am facing now is severely uncomfortable but on the back behind my tonsils on the wall of my throat I have yellowish raised lumps that are swollen amd very harsh. Could this be Cancer?

From the description you have given it seems to be of infectious etiology. However if it persists despite antibiotic treatment, it may warrant a biopsy.
