Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query visible lumps on back side of throat along with ear pain are pointing towards a condition known as granular pharyngitis, which is a infection of pharynx behind the uvula. It could be due to tonsilitis or throat infection . Need not to worry. I would suggest you to start with warm saline gargles and betadine gargles 3-4 times a day. For pain and swelling you should take ibuprofen or acetaminophen. Consult ENT specialist for proper diagnosis. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics penicillin or amoxicillin. Take mucolytic agent like ambroxol or decongestants. You should take steam inhalation as well. Do chlorhexidine mouth-rinse as well. Avoid hot, sharp , spicy food substances and carbonated beverages. You should go for blood and throat swan examination to find out exact etiology of your condition.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
