CT scan uses some amount of radiation to take a clear photo of Lung, but it doesn't cause cancer in single dose. Now ct scan is required to see the severity of lung infection & plan your treatment.
Next Steps
Do CT scan Immediately

No if your doctor has asked you to get a ct done , go for it . It doesn’t cause any severe side effects in one exposure . For further queries take a consultation with a doctor.
