Hi,
Thanks for asking the query,
There are many reasons by which you develop bumps on your tongue ,
Due to accidental trauma and biting on the tongue.
Excessive smoking can irritate the tongue.
Canker sores , aphthous ulcers.
Enlarged papillae if becomes inflammed and irritated .
Medical conditions like diabetes , anaemia .
I would suggest you to visit to the Dentist and get checkup done .
Brush your tongue softly with a tongue scraper or soft bristle toothbrush .
Drink lots of water.
Use antiseptic mouthwash gargles twice daily.
Take vitamin suplements .
Hope this helps out.

Appereance of white or red bumps on the oral mucosa is seen due to several reasons ;
It can be a allergic reaction to certain food stuffs , deficiency or vitamins especially vitamin B 12 and vitamin C may lead to oral lesions.
Habits like tobacco chewing ,smoking and alcohol consumption may also lead to oral inflammation and lesion.
these bumps can be bening or malignant lesions but needs clinical evaluation before confirming.
Exact diagnosis can be made only after clinical examination and pathological tests .
i would suggest you to consult and oral surgeon and get the evaluation done.
