Papillae: These may be prominent taste buds or papillae and don't sound like anything serious. An otolaryngologist is best qualified to evaluate and advise you.

Where?: If they are in the back toward the tonsils they are taste buds. If they are new have your doctor or dentist check it out to make sure it is nothing to worry about.
