It sounds as if you have a yeast infection (thrush). To treat this you must see a doctor and get a medication availiable by prescription only that you will "swish" in your mouth a few times daily. It isn't bad... tastes like bananas. Also.. as a respiratory therapist I can tell you.. YOU MUST keep your tubing and mask clean.. If not you are breathing in bacteria, molds and spores which can cause you severe infection including respiratory infection. Every day soak your mask in warm soapy water, rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry. Once weekly do the same with your tubing and humidifier. Also a once weekly soak in a 1 to 3 part vinegar/water solution for 30 min. followed by rinsing and allowing to air dry. This is very important to prevent infection as you now know. Best of luck to you... Robbie
