Cold coming, Help!

Post by Deadmanwalking » Wed Nov 29, 2006 4:50 am

Hello All,
I need your help, I've got a cold coming on. Last night was bad, Took mask off sometime during the night, and didn't even release the headgear?
Head getting stuffed up, and throat scratchy.
I would like to continue using the machine and mask, but how do do this with a cold?
Any suggestions would be helpful. I'll try them.
Thanks, DMW

I see you already have one of the best masks for a cold, the HC431. Have
you tried a Neti-pot and saltwater. If not, Goggle SinuCleanse.

+ Aussie heated hose.

Hello

Yes it right getting a cold on cpap is NOT fun, especially when you rely on it to sleep properly! The scratchy feeling and congested feeling in your nosk.
Best thing to do is catch up on sleep during the day using your mask.
