There are a number of possibilities of what this could be. I had two lumps at the back of my tongue quite recently and they would rub against my tonsils (mine are extremely swollen) and it was very painful. They went after a painful week…

It is most likely Enlarged Circumvallate Papillae. Circumvallate papillae are part of the normal anatomy of the tongue. Generally, these structures are flat and innocuous, however occasionally, a patient presents with enlarged papillae. They are considered normal.

This link shows a picture of a more prominant case. Yours hopefully shouldn’t be so bad. http://doctorspiller.com/circumvallate_papillae.htm

I strongly suggest going to a doctors. Don’t use us as a substitute :) It would be good to get them checked out. Good luck :)
