The swallow test is for determining if you suffer from aspiration pneumonia, which is quite different from viral pneumonia. My husband has lung metastases, it is not considered a recurrence.

Hopefully the CT scan will give your doctor a better idea of what it is. In the meantime, focus on something else, like your little girl or a hobby. It will help to take your mind off the fearful thoughts.
