My son has the flu. his fever comes back every time his ibuprofen wears off..

Influenza: He will have fevers for 3-5 days. If antipyretics make him comfortable that is good. Make sure he drinks a lot of fluids. If difficulty breathing, if vomiting, if lethargic then take to doctor to be evaluated and see if he needs to be admitted.
