Steve again. I also had fever spikes. 102 twice. I couldn't breath when I laid down to sleep. Found out I had to sleep sitting up for the duration because mucus was blocking my airway. Tylenol reduced the fever ASAP. Since I had breathing issues, they admitted me both times, but went home after a couple of days. The fever spikes are not unusual.
