Dear- you are having symptoms of bronchitis. This can cause irritation and inflammation of the membrane that covers the lung named pleura and gives you a back pain mostly when takes a deep breath. If you are having a thick white coating on your tongue this could be oral thrush, which happens sometimes when you have a bad infection or you immune system is not working properly.The red lumps in the back of the throat could be secondary to the infection. I would recommend you to see your primary care doctor because you will need medical treatment,
I hope that my advise has been helpful.
