Hello there,
Welcome to HCM,
Lumps seen in the oral cavity can be of various types . They can be infective lesions related to some kind of infection to the tongue mucosa or
lumps are also formed due to bening or malignant swellings of the tongue.
cysts or the abscess cavity also form lumps.
exact diagnosis can be made only after clinical examination and evaluation by taking pathological tests.
i would suggest you to consult an oral and maxillofacial surgeon and get the examination done get which will help in diagnosis and accordingly treatment can be planned .
i hope this helps,
take care.

Hello
Although it does not look serious since you are having the bump since six months, but still would like you to get it checked because a bump on the back of the tongue is not normal and needs to be evaluated!
Thanks
