CPAP and an ear infection

Post by Bubba1 » Mon Dec 02, 2019 12:16 pm

Have an ear infection. Was in just one ear but now moved to the other one as well. Was prescribed antibiotics.

Should I continue to use the CPAP machine? Or wait until it clears up?

I just got over an ear infection. My doctor knows I use a CPAP. The only thing I was told to do differently was to not use my hearing aid in the affected ear until the infection was cleared up; nothing said about CPAP.
