Hi Adipane,
Complaints that you feel right now in the form of pain when swallowing, small white and red pus lumps can be caused by several things, such as:
Tonsillitis
Pharyngitis
Laryngitis
It should be noted that recently there is an epidemic of a disease called diphtheria tonsillitis where the symptoms that arise include painful swallowing, there is a white membrane in the throat, pain in the ears, fever, changes in voice, no appetite, sometimes accompanied by shortness of breath. This disease can be life threatening. So I suggest you to immediately consult your complaint to an ENT specialist, so that a complete examination can be carried out immediately and get the right therapy. Chances are the doctor will give the right antibiotics and some drugs to relieve the symptoms that appear.
While treatment at home, you can take pain relievers such as paracetamol, eat soft foods to reduce friction in the infected area, increase consumption of mineral water, fruit and vegetables as good sources of vitamins, get enough rest and can use an antiseptic mouthwash.
That's my explanation, hopefully the answer is yes and a speedy recovery. Thank you
