Bumps in throat: Healthy tonsils look like two pink to orange bumps on either side of the back of the throat. Inflamed tonsils are red and may have pustules, particularly in viral and strep infections. Herpes usually has erosions or shallow ulcers and is usually painful. If your throat is sore or swollen, or there are new growths, please see a doctor to a proper evaluation.
