The doctor, examining the patient’s throat, uses a special mirror, preheating it above a temperature of 37 degrees. Explain why he is heating the mirror.

In a person’s throat, moisture evaporates, and if the ENT does not heat the mirror more than the temperature of the throat and mucous membrane, then condensation will form on it, and the mirror will fog up. And in the misted mirror, the ENT doctor will not be able to see what the patient’s problems are. That’s why he heats up the mirror.
