Hello,

They are normal with everybody. It called circumvallate papillae or behind that lingual tonsils. Nothing to worry about it, use salt water gargling and water vapor inhalation.

Avoid cool drinks and freeze water. Avoid smoking. Use tablet Amoxiclavulinate thrice a day for five days. Take tablet alday dc twice a day for five days. If symptoms not improved, please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
