Why Are My Cervical Lymph Nodes Swollen And Painful?

I have what appear to be yellow blisters on the back and the left side of my throat. I no longer have my tonsils. My cervical lymph nodes are very swollen and painful. I received IM dexamethasone 6 mg on Wednesday and my throat is no longer sore but the blisters have not improved. Is this viral or bacterial? Should I seek an antibiotic?
