I actually had the same issue, but mine was do to a medication I was taking I take allegra for my Allergies and had been on it for about a month and a half at the point of time when I noticed the bumps and my mouth was very dry. If your on any regular medications you might want to try talking to your doctor about the side affects of them and if that could be a possible one. But for your dry mouth my dentist recommended using a toothpaste and mouthwash called biotene it works wonders and also cleared up both the dry mouth and bumps in my mouth

Bump on tongue growing?

If you have bumps on your tongue it normally mean you have eaten something very sour or spicy hot. You also may have burned it somehow. Many people get these bumps.
