Hi
Welcome to Healthcare magic and thanks for putting up the query
The bumps on the back of tongue are absolutely normal. They are taste buds. The palate mucosa is inflamed due to mucositis.
Please tell me do you have any history of diabetes?
Any history of tobacco use or smoking?
Any history of very hot thing consumed?
Constipation?
Follow up with the required information so that I can suggest you better.
