Hello and welcome to HCM,
It is very unusual to have yellow colored lumps at the back of throat.
A clinical assessment of these yellow lumps is required to understand the nature of these lesions.
yellow colored lumps anywhere in the body are commonly associated with accumulation of pus.
Pus collections are usually associated with pain and fever.
The lesions described by you hurt only in the morning so it is unlikely that they are due to pus collection.
Thus, I suggest you to consult an ENT specialist for examination of throat for diagnosis and then manage the case.
Thanks and take care
