What you are looking at are not abnormal bumps. They are known as circumvillate papillae which are normal structures present at the back of the tongue. They divide tongue into front and back portions. So you need not worry about as they are supposed to be present in all of us
Next Steps
If you still have doubts, Google about these structures and get more information so that you get more confidence
