Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As per your query you have symptoms of orange bumps in the throat which are pointing towards a condition known as granular pharyngitis/ tonsillitis. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to start with warm saline gargles and Betadine gargles 3-4 times a day. You should take ibuprofen or acetaminophen. Consult ENT specialist for proper diagnosis and rule out condition like strep throat and viral infection . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics (penicillin or amoxicillin ) or anti viral drug depending upon the diagnosis along with decongestants and anti inflammatory. You should maintain proper hygiene. Avoid hot, sharp , spicy food substances , do warm saline rinses and carbonated beverages.
Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
