The bumps you have mentioned are normal structures (papillae). Normally they are small but can increase in size in allergic conditions or reflux.
Next Steps
Avoid cold and sour foods. Refrain from eating too much spicy and oily foods. Gargling might help.

These are normal during allergy or cold conditions it’ll look like big in size otherwise there are normal in the back side of the tongue
You can just do salt water gargling and avoid cold and spicy food items, it’ll spontaneously stop showing up
