Monitor fever: If she is having fever and no other symptoms then this low grade temp could be due to the trauma of procedure. If she is having chest discomfort, breathing difficulty, rapid breathing and sputum production then you want to call the doctor who performed the procedure and should take her to the er.

Anesthesia: First off, the technical definition of fever is 100.5 or better. The range of normal temps can get into the low 100's without being consider a fever. After a procedure with anesthesia, some changes in body temp along with general aches like a headache aren't uncommon. Call the physician who performed the procedure and discuss the symptoms. Follow his/her instructions from there.
