Excessive soreness in throat

Question

Asked for Male, 23 Years

I started feeling flu symptoms on Friday morning. With high temperature, headache, body pain. While the other subsided after taking meds till Sunday, I now have prickly throat. Even eating rice is difficult. Am surviving on soups n boiled/mashed things since Monday. And the bodyache has returned too. Last night I puked a little and realised there are few bumps/lumps in the begining of tongue (towards the throat) Even lozenges can provide very little comfort
