Hi..
Thanks for the query..

The bumps over the back of the tongue seems like swollen Circumvallate papillae and white dot over the tonsil seems to be a pus pocket..

It can be secondary to bacterial throat infection and inflammation in throat can be a cause for swollen circumvallate papillae as it is located in close proximity to throat..

You should consult an Otolaryngologist and he can advise you to take antibiotics like Augmentin, anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen and do warm saline gargles..
Avoid spicy and hard foods and sip on plenty of warm water..
Maintain a good oral hygiene..

Hope this helps..

Regards.
