Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern.

As per your complain and presentation of symptoms the blackish red bump on each side of the throat are tonsils and if it hurts to eat and swallow it is due to inflammation of Tonsils leading to TONSILLITIS which is due to infection in throat that can be bacterial or viral in nature..

Nothing to worry , take a short course of antibiotics like Azithromycin or Augmentin for 5 days..
Take anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen for reducing inflammation and pain..
Chew a Vitamin C pellet daily.
Do warm saline gargles 3 to 4 times a day..
Steam inhalations and using a humidifier in your room can help..
Avoid spicy and hard foods.

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
