Brief Answer:
Inflammation/infection should be ruled out

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for the query
I do understand your concern.
After going through the details I would like to rule out tonsillitis (may be bacterial/viral).
In tonsillitis the tonsils are enlarged,red and may be associated with ulcers and dilated veins.Throat pain and enlarged lymph nodes in neck region are common accompanying complaints.
I would suggest you to consult a pediatrician for clinical evaluation, investigations like throat swab (to find out the organism)and management accordingly.
Warm saline gargle,acetaminophen (to relieve pain) and antibiotics (in case of bacterial infection) provides relief.

I hope this helps
Please let me know if you have any more query
Wishing for your speedy recovery.
Regards
