The problem is that it could be a variety of things. It could be thrush (yeast infection), strep, due to reflux, etc. It is best to go to the doctor and have them properly diagnose you because if you treat it for the wrong thing it could get worse.

THANKS I DID CALL TO SET UP AN APPOINTMENT BUT I WASN'T ABLE TO GET ONE UNTIL FRIDAY. THE WHITE BUMPS/SORES SEEM TO BE GOING AWAY BUT NOW MY THROAT IS SWOLLEN. I CAN'T REALLY SWOLLOW OR TALK. I CAN ALSO ONLY OPEN MY MOUTH A CERTAIN AMOUNT, IF I OPEN IT MORE THAN THAT CERTAIN AMOUNT I GET AN INCREDIBLE PAIN. TEARS RUN DOWN MY FACE WHEN I SWOLLOW. :(
