An ENT is a specialist, but as mentioned, maybe see one that deals specifically with H&N cancer, surgery, at a CCC. They can do a FNAB without a CT or other scan. Maybe some would order that first. I did without a scan before a FNAB many times but a CT was ordered anyway at the same time, and then PET was ordered after confirmation to see of any other involved. Actually, they knew there was since the node was matatadtic cancer from elsewhere, likely the oropharynx, which it was, and then a triple scope with direct biopsies under anesthesia. I don't understand If cancer cant be excluded from a suspicion, why no further work ups are not being done. Do they want you to come back in two weeks, prescribed antibiotics? Good luck.
