It is possible that small bumps on the tongue near the throat are normal, but it is also possible that chronic growths are present. On the dorsum of the tongue, at the junction of the anterior 2/3 and posterior 1/3 of the tongue, there are small round bumps called contour papillae, which are normal structures. Behind the contour papillae, there are small bumps on the surface of the tongue root, which may be the lingual tonsils. Both the contour papillae and the lingual tonsils exhibit a granular fleshy appearance of varying sizes. In addition, the tongue near the throat with granules may be caused by chronic inflammatory stimulation, such as inflammation of the pharynx, the tongue tonsils may be inflamed and red, and after repeated inflammation will form chronic hyperplasia, also manifested as granules. It is recommended to visit the hospital and ask the doctor to help diagnose this situation. Special care should be taken in daily life not to eat irritating foods such as chili peppers frequently, and not to drink carbonated beverages such as cola frequently to avoid damage to the teeth and throat.
