It could be strep throat. You probably need some antibiotics to kick it out once and for all. I went through a bout of strep a few years back and they had to keep upping the dosage because it reoccurred a few times. I got little white bumps as well so from experience I'd say-- go to the doctor when it happens again so you can get well and come back and ask more questions!
Have a great day!!!

White bumps indicate an infection, usually white bumps mean you have strep throat, but if it resolves itself w/o medication, it may be just and infection that your body is able to fight on its own.

when that white bump appears it means that you have an infection going on, it's a puss accumulation and you should start taking antibiotics. Visit your doctor as soon as possible

You could have chronic tonsilitis, I had that my teenage years. It was a pain, you need to see the doctor.

Sounds like streptococi to me.

Try to gargle with a little Proxide.
Maybe this will clear this up.
