Suggest Treatment For Swelling Mastoid Bone

Had bad cough and coughed up green sputum two months ago. Took antibiotic: cough is gone, but swelling on mastoid bone is still there. White cell count slightly elevated to 10,400. Very afraid of CT scan because already had two previous scans. Should I just wait and see if swelling of mastoid area goes down or proceed with CT scan?
