Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Inadvertently using nasal decongestant. I would suggest you to use Otrivin/Nasivion nasal drop @ 2 drops to each nostrils before using the CPAP and take tablet allegra 180 instead of Levocetrizine. Get well soon.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
