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.
