<s>[INST] Hi, for the last few days i have noticed that i have a few white lumps at the back of my throat, theres one at either side. think they are on my tonsils but i dono. n it looks like one of them has a hole in it. i have experienced this b4 last year. ps the side of my neck is sore too. please help as im getting very worried if its sumthin serious like throat cancer. [/INST] Hi Dear,Welcome to HCM. Understanding your concern. As per your query lumps on throat with sore neck are indicative of viral infection. It could be due to enlarged tonsils but i would suggest you to visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. I would suggest Ultrasound and a simple needle biopsy from the lumps on throat to rule out any hidden cyst, fibroma or lymphoma. Need not to panic about it and go for FNAC ( Fine Needle aspiration cytology). Once a proper diagnosis have been diagnosed  start treatment accordingly. Maintain oral hygiene. Avoid hot, sharp and spicy food.Hope your concern has been resolved.Get well Soon.Best wishes,Dr. Harry Maheshwari </s>
