She : She should call the doctor who did her procedure and speak with him or her right away. If that is not possible for some reason, then she should go to the er. This could very easily represent an infection and needs to be evaluated.

The : The best would be to call your doctor who performed the procedures as soon as possible. Infections would be uncommon after this type of procedure, but if a piece of a stone gets caught in the ureter then a kidney blockage could occur. Your doctor would need to look for possible infections or another cause for a fever.
