Diagnosed With Flu, Running Fever, Alternating Ibuprofen And Tylenol, Still Feverish. Should Be Concerned ?

Hello, My daughter was diagnosed with the flu and has been running a fever for about a week now. We have been alternating ibuprofen and tylenol every 4 hours. Tonight she had a temp of 101.3 and gave her a dose of ibuprofen 5cc s which was advised by the pediatrician . Now her temp is down to 96.1. Should we be concerned? Thanks
