How To Treat Large Bumpy Spots At Back Of Tongue?

I just noticed my 21 month year old daughter had large bumpy spots on the back of her tounge. I never noticed them before, but this is the first time she has stuck her tounge out that far haha. I asked my husband to look at my mouth and he said I had them too. Are these taste buds?
