I'm confused about why my body reacted so strongly to bronchitis. I typically get bronchitis if I get cold and fail to get enough sleep.

Everyone in my home has gotten a cold in the last week. My cold and ds3's cold turned into Bronchitis. No one got a fever except for me. My fever was a doozy. It reached 105 yesterday and stayed above 103 for 24 hours.

Typically I like to let fever do its thang, no matter how high it gets, but I was in so much pain that after 24 hours I took Tylenol. Today I'm weak but my fever has remained low and I feel so much better.

Why did my body react to this sickness as if we were fighting WWIII?? Is the high fever a sign of a poor immune system or one that is a super-hero?
