Brief Answer:
Very likely infection.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for choosing "Ask a Doctor" service for your query,
Have seen your details and photos attached by you.
The point of two crosses is usually the point where lymph nodes are present.
Very likely it's a case of relapse of bacterial or viral infection.
Acid reflux causes inflammation and pain in oropharynx ( on opening your mouth the part on the back you see).
You G.P is going to palpate and examine you.
Very likely a course of azithromycin or amoxicillin would be given to curb infection.
A CBC/TLC/DLC would again be recommended in which if neutrophils are high then it's a new acute infection however in case Lymphocytes are high then it's a relapse of chronic infection.
Hope I was helpful,
follow ups are welcome,
Thank you.
