What Causes High Fever In Children?

Early this evening my 3 yr old daughter spiked a high fever 102.0. I am assuming at this point it is the flu since 2 of my other children are recovering from it now. However, after a dose of tylonel and brief nap she was up and back to normal. I frequently checked her temperature after she woke and it very quickly dropped to 95.8 and has been between there and 96.8 since. Is this something I should be concerned or is this a way for her body to protect itself also?
