Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern.
As per your query you have small bumps at the back of your tongue . Well there can be many reasons for bumps at the back of the tongue , bu in your case it seems to me that the bumps are lie Bumps also known as transient Lingual Papillitis . These occur when papillae become irritated and slightly swollen. They occur due to various reasons like stress , hormonal changes or acidic and spicy food . It generally doesn’t require treatment and clears up within two weeks. Do warm saline rinses 2-3 times a day . If condition doesn't get better in few days then consult oral pathologist for proper checkup and rule out condition like herpes or canker sore .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
