Hi..
Thanks for the query..

Bumps on the tongue after eating lots of popcorn can be due to irritation on the tongue surface and it can cause inflammation of tongue papilla leading to transient lingual pappiltitis..
Any popcorn kernel might be stuck on the back of tongue or throat or bumps at the very back of tongue that can also be due to inflamed circumvallate papillae can cause feeling of something in the back of throat..
Once get an examination done by a doctor to confirm that is there anything struck at the back of throat or tongue or not..
If nothing is found then doing warm saline gargles and taking a soft diet can help in reducing the size of bumps..
Also gargle with antiseptic mouthwash and suck ice pops..

Hope this helps..

Regards..
