Suggest Remedy For Sore Throat With Headache And Nausea

I have had a cpap (biPap) since last Tuesday. I am having problems getting used to it. I sleep with my mouth open and I can t sleep long with it closed. I have a sore throat (which I had one before I went on the machine), my tongue burns, headache, nausea. Can you tell me how I can get used to it and stop these systoms? Also; sometimes there is air that is coming out right around the eyes but it doesn t do it all the time. I have the small mask. Thank you
