Hi Usually CTscan for Paranasal issues is not without contrast. For swallowing issues - u got a repeat CT scan done, was contrast given to swallow ? If so Contrast usually causes nausea and vomiting and not pharyngitis. Repeated exposure to X rays can lead to cancer. But not with  two exposures

Unnecessary exposure to radiation is not advisable. CT scans for diagnostic purposes is safe. Pharyngitis and swallowing issues may be unrelated
