It can be infection: If your throat is sore and the lymph node/lump on your neck is tender to touch, you should go see your doctor as it can be strept throat which often requires further testing and antibiotics for treatment.

Infections/ HIV: With sore throat and lump on the side of neck, whether tender or non- tender, possibilities of a pharyngitis with enlarged cervical lymph nodes or a strep throat is there. White spots on the back of throat, could be because of a candidia infection, which may be due to immune deficiency and even HIV should be included in the differential diagnosis. Please consult your pcp. Thanks.
