Answers:
Along the sides of your throat are lymph nodes!. Be glad that they are swollen!. They are filled with whatever is making you sick, being broken down by your body's defenses in an effort to heal you!. Your body is working!. Give it some time!.
It's not cancer!.
Most colds are self resolving in about 7-10 days!. If you have a fever, then you may need antibiotics and some ibuprofen!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Differential: Bubonic Plague (not as likely, try touching your lumps!.!.!. if they are really swollen and they really hurt), could be S!. Pharyngitic (strep throat), Laryngitis, or possibly Haemophilius Influenzae infection!.
