Thanks for using Health Care Magic.

Read your query.

The red bumps which you have described on the back of your tongue suggests enlarged circumvallate papillae which usually occurrs due to few factors including hot and spicy food,gastro oesophageal reflux and some infection.

You should not worry as it is a not a condition which is dangerous.

Maintain a good oral hygiene , reduce hot and spicy food.

Listerine can cause occasional burning sensation, use saline water gargling.

If still worried consult a oral surgeon and have it checked.

Hope this was helpful.

Thanks and regards.
