Re: Terrible sore throat since, few weeks into cpap use

I had issues with my throat SWELLING after the first few months of using my full face. For me it came down to not properly cleaning my mask and hose.

Hi, I recently got my cpap (about a month ago) and lately I've been having issues waking up with terrible sore throats.
