I currently have a bad cold, which includes a cough because of mucus drainage. It is rather a pain if I have to cough in the middle of the night. Taking the mask off just to do so is an issue especially when I don't want to awaken my wife. Any suggestions?

Hi @MartyB. I am sometimes unable to wear my treatment when I have a bad cold or congestion. This is definitely not optimal, so I try to manage the symptoms with saline rinse and/or nasal spray to help keep my sinuses as clear as possible. My ENT recommended saline rinses, and I do them several times a day if I'm experiencing congestion. It may be good to speak with your physician, as some patients require sprays such as Flonase to help manage the symptoms.
Hi Marty, have you tried Saline Rinse before bedtime? and or combination with steroidal nasal spray? Sometimes bumping up the Humidity Level will also work.
