What Do White Bumps On Tongue Indicate?

Within the past 48 hours I've noticed these 2 white bumps; 1 on either side of my tongue by my teeth almost hidden. Started out on one side and a little painful then the second one appeared almost in the same location on other side of my tongue. Both about the same size and white. I'm also noticing some little bumps on the inside of my lips.
From what I can see online it isn't an STD although I could be wrong. It looks / feels more like canchor soars or something. I'm concerned. What should I do

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The bumps over the tongue and the lips can be a mucocele or irritational fibroma secondary to trauma by sharp teeth. Nothing to be panic, consult a oral physician and get it evaluated. If it is a mucocele or fibroma, you can get it surgically removed.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
