Thank you. I did not mean to imply that the CPAP was the source of the the bacteria. I was just wondering if the bacteria, in your throat for example, would be pushed further down into the lungs. From your answer, it appears that this is not the case. Your point about Covid 19 and the use of ventilators actually helping people to breath through Covid makes your point. I suppose if one was not washing the CPAP mask and hose frequently enough, one might expect to get lots of colds and sore throats, and not pneumonia every few years on a regular basis in conjunction with an infrequent cold. Thanks again.
If you have a cold and sore throat, can CPAP usage lead to Pneumonia? Can the air pressure force bacteria down into your lungs. Should you temporally stop CPAP during a cold or just continue CPAP usage as normal. Thanks for any advice on this subject.
