My 13 year old daughter may need a sleep aid machine. I want to know can children wear a CPAP machine?

13 year old should be fine using the CPAP but 1st line treatment of OSA in the pediatric population is tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy.
Yes indeed they can definitely use CPAP. They need some extra help with mask fit and getting accustomed to the device. It's a good choice for children with apnea who are not appropriate candidates for tonsillectomy.
