Please send me your suggestio...

what happens when you get a cold?

I'm 4 months into cpap and I am finally starting to feel alot better. I'm terrified at the thought of getting a cold because it usually lasts a month. Will I still be able to use my machine? My mask is the Pilairo which I absolutely love.
