I found blisters in the back of my throat, bumps on the back of my tongue, and a slight irritation in my throat, but i recently just had the flu/cold.

All ok: The lumps are likely papilla and lymphatic regions. The other findings expected after viral infection.

Blisters/bumps: What you are describing sounds like normal post-URI findings. Bumps on back of tongue, for example, may be normal major taste buds. If you are concerned, see your GP or Urgent Care (not ER) for examination.
