How To Cure Bumps At The Back Of The Tongue?

I have a few bumps, polyps(?) on the back of my tongue, out of site but within reach of my finger, and thus feel smaller than a pea. They are not sore, cause no pain, nor any issue other than the annoyance of feeling like I have feed stuck near the back of my mouth that I need to swallow. Any suggestions?

Hello, Thank you for consulting with HCM.
These bumps which are present at the back of tongue can be normal taste buds only, as they are situated at the area where you have mentioned. And even they are not creating any problem.
Better you should not worry about them.
Hope it will help you.
