If the bumps are regular and symmetrical IE. the same on both sides, they are most likely a variation of a taste bud- there are different types of taste bud that can be found in different locations- the ones at the back of the mouth are often mistaken by the novice for oral cancer. If you are unsure- visit a dentist :-)

Sounds like you may have thrush if you regularly take steroid inhalers. To prevent this have a sip of water after you have taken them. Thrush usually goes on its own accord, take some ibuprofen/paracetamol to ease the sore throat.

If this isn't Asthma related it may be something called geographical tongue, if so do the same as above to ease the pain.

Bumps on the back of your tongue can be related to a cold or cough. It is also possible that you burned your tongue by eating something that was too hot.

A sore throat can be caused by many things. Although a yellow tongue could be a result of having a strep throat, you also need to look for patches on the tongue or if its hurts or is sensitive to touch. If your throat or tongue is causing you pain, it would be best to go see a doctor about it.

Why do you have white bumps on your tonsles?

It's possible that you have strep throat. You should get a strep test just in case. Just visit a doctor, and they'll swipe a swab on the back of your throat. If the strep test is negative, then the doc may figure out another illness you may have. There's definitely something up with your throat tho.
