Increased body temperature does help the immune system in several ways. First many organisms do not replicate as well in a hotter enviroment, second white blood cells have shown increased movement rates and phagocytosis (eating the bad bacteria) in hotter environments.
That said, I'm not aware of any study that showed that suffering through a fever made you better any quicker than taking tylenol and being comfortable.
