I suggest to undergo for evaluation with neck USG to find out nature of neck Lymphadenopathy..
As you are young girl, not recommended to go for radiation exposure of ct scan unless needed..
USG is cheaper than ct or mri and very efficient..if needed USG guided FNAC can be repeated..If any histological proof of lymphoma..then to go for pet ct scan..thanks
