Fever is a sign of some kind of infection. It may range from a simple cold to serious infections. It depends on the complete picture. If it is really Swine flu and Tamiflu has already been started then there is a very good chance that it will be cured. As long as she is generally well I don't see any reason why you should be anxious. Follow the doctors advice and she should be fine.
