What are bumps on the side of your tounge that hurt?

Tongue: These could represent a variety of disorders. The symptoms you report are too vague to give an informed opinion.

Could be many things: You don't don't provide enough information to be specific. So could be almost anything. Painful bumps could be a viral or bacterial infection or a traumatic injury, as occurs when the tongue is bitten. You will need to have your tongue evaluated by a dentist.
