Does A CPAP Machine Usage Cause Pain In The Throat?
I just started using a CPAP machine 3 weeks ago. One week ago my throat on right side stared hurting -- like first step to cold. Left side throat, maybe tonsil, hurts a lot more. Can t swallow without pain. Some fever. Could this be connected to CPAP use?
