Hi..
Welcome to HCM
the lumps you have noticed in neck are lymph nodes draining the tonsils.... If you got acute symptoms.s of throat pain..discomfort while swallowing ...take tab amoxicillin with clavulinic acid two times a day after food for 5 days..and tab paracetamol for pain relief.. Regarding the swelling in the neck neat your line that is lymph nodes you need not worry they will subside on their own....if your tonsils troubling often you can get it removed through surgery..
Wish you a speedy recovery..
