You seem to be looking at circumvillate papillae in the back of the tongue which are normal structures present. Unless they are inflamed causing pain and difficulty in swallowing not much of treatment is required
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
