I've asked this and you didn't answer but I really think you should be addressing the anxiety more than the sore throat and bumps. There are at least a million possibilities of what can go wrong with the body and even the stress of knowing can be extremely difficult to deal with. By constantly fearing what might be wrong, you aren't helping things. I don't know if this makes sense to you but freaking out and getting progressively more anxious about it is a sign you could use some help processing your fears.
In regards to throat infection, not treating an infection can be fatal. Even something that seems as simple as strep throat, when left untreated, can cause a lifetime of health problems that have no cure.
