Yes, fever coming and going can be a common symptom in people thought to have Swine Flu H1N1/09. When the fever spikes and peaks and then gets better but then later comes back again, it is a sign that you should seek medical attention, some people have had more severe complications after this type of fever fluctuation.
Here is a description provided by one of the Answers.com contributors about the course of the fever with swine flu in their child:
My son has swine flu. It began with intense sore throat and congestion which went to chest in 2 days. Within the same 6 hour period congestion went to the chest, his temperature, which is usually 97.5, rose through 99 to 102. We began Tamiflu and did a very cold bath, then ice packs, Tylenol and cold showers intermittently, kept up Tylenol every 4 hours. Temp went down to 100 in 2 hours and stayed there for 12 hours, then down to 99 and stayed at 99 for 2 days(still 1.5 degrees higher than his normal temp. of 97.5). He was still on Tamiflu, Tylenol and also Augmentin for the original sore throat. Then temp. suddenly went up again to 102. Followed same course of cold shower, ice packs and continued Tylenol. Down to 101 within an hour, then to 100 at 2d hour. Pajamas were soaking wet from sweat by the next Tylenol dose. Must wake them to keep up Tylenol. Temp. back to 99. This is the 6th day.
