You should not use your CPAP for at least a week after tonsillectomy or sinus surgery. This can dry out the nasal cavities and the back of the throat and make you more likely to have a post operative bleed.
I know of another doctor's patient who died of sleep apnea complications from NOT resuming CPAP after tonsillectomy.
