What Do Small Bumps In The Throat Indicate?

Hello, the top of my mouth is quite yellow, swallowing is not painful yet, I have bumps on the back of my throat and on the top. I poked at one of the bumps and it started bleeding. I have braces and its made brushing and maintaining my mouth difficult. I believe it may be a sore throat or strep. Any ideas?
