See oral surgeon: A dentist or oral surgeon needs to actually see then evaluate your problem to determine the best type of treatment. Small bumps and whitish patch describes a number of possible problems so the need to visibly see your condition is important.

Palatal pain: The kind of pain you describe, radiating to your tongue and ear, sounds like it could be neurogenic and inflammatory, and could be due to a viral infection in your soft palate, since you describe lesions on your soft palate. It could be caused by coxsackie virus, or it could be a case of shingles. Is it just on one side, or both? If it persists, please see your physician or an ENT doctor.
