Probably normal.: Hard to say without looking, but there are often pink bumps on the back of the throat which are nothing but little patches of white cells and supporting tissue. Sore throat can be associated with a little accentuation of the normal.

Can a normal sized lymph node in the neck be visible as a small bump when moving head and neck certain positions? Especially in a very thin person? Or would it more likely be a bump from a vein similar to what can be seen from the back of a hand?
