Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The lump over the palatopharyngeal arch can be because of the peritonsillar abscess. Nothing to be panic, consult an ENT surgeon and get it evaluated. Mean while you can take a course of antibiotics preferably azithromycin (If you are not allergic). Do saline gargling. Take care.
I hope I have answered your query, take care.
