Unlikely cancer: Most probably, it is inflamed tongue bump. Teeth hygiene! rinse the mouth with mouth wash. If it does not help, see your doctor. Thank you for question.

Bumps on tongue: It is impossible to say without more information and an examination. If the bumps are painful and have been present for more than 10 days, you need to have them examined by a dentist or an oral surgeon.
