Hi,
These lumps can be enlarged papillae which might have enlarged as a result of cough and cold. They are normally seen at the back of the tongue. Their function is taste sensation. You should do warm salt water gargle and also Betadine gargle. Do tongue scraping. These help in reducing sore throat.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
