bumps on the back of my tongue

In the last two days, I've had problems with my mouth. About 3 days ago, I found a canker sore on my lip. Yesterday  bumps appeared on the back of my tongue. They do not hurt, but are quite annoying. All i want to do is swallow them. I heard that the bumps on the back of the tongue are a part of normally anatomy, but i can't help but think that they are inflamed or infected. Is there anything I can do at home? If they don't go down in a couple of days, I plan on seeing a dentist.

Heres my background:
I'm a college student. I'm stressed out. I ate all my easter candy this week. I don't smoke, barely drink, and had the same partner for about 4 years (So i highly doubt its an STD). My throat is also a little soar.
