Brief Answer:
Not related to oxycodone , usually

Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome

I appreciate your concern

Oxycodone is related with adverse effects like sweating, flushing of head , neck and chest. It isn't usually associated with fever , rigors and chills. If there is no recorded fever and the intensity of the symptoms hasn't worsened then it can be continued at the halved strength.

Wishing you best of health

Thanks
