Observation: If you feel fine and do not have any other signs or symptoms, i would recommend observation. If signs or symptoms recur, then you need to see your doctor.

Probably unrelated: If hida scan was noraml the fever may be unrelated. An elevated temperature suggestive of infection is seen in 1/3 of patients with cholecystitis (inflammation of gallbladder and > 90% with cholangitis, inflammation in bile ducts. These patients usually have abnormal results to the gall bladder study.
