Bump on back of tongue

For the past week and a half, it has felt like something is stuck in the back of my throat - almost like a piece of popcorn husk didn't make it all the way down my throat.

I noticed some bumps at the back of my throat, but I have no idea if they have always been there or not.  Of course, looking this topic up on the web reveals some very scary possibilities.

Any thoughts on what might be the cause of this and how concerned i need to be?

thank you for your help.

If the bumps are on the back of your tongue I would suggest you see an oral surgeon, if they are on your throat see your MD.
