what's the importance of asking -to swallow in exmn?-i dont think they r testing any Cranial nerves.......thyroid swelling is unrelated to it.

how do i ask about lyme's disease-tick bite followed by rash or i can use the name?

Swalloing is for thyroid exam.

9th and 10th CN are tested by :
1-the Gag reflex (put the tongue-depressor on the base of the tongue)
2-Say AHHHHH : see if the uvula is deviated
