Suggest Treatment For Lump Under Right Ear

I am male, 29 years. I have lump under my right ear. It is painless. Its size is constant. I got an Fine Needle Blood test. It didnt show any mailgnant cells and the diagnosis was that it could be sialedenosis. My doctor asked me to wait and watch for any other symptoms. When I asked if i should get any CTScan or MRI he refused and said that he feels he doesnt need it and moreover too much radiation. I am worried that it could be something serious. Please help. Should I show it to specialist and if yes which one?
