Had A Stint Put In After Gallbladder Surgery, Removed, Experiencing Chills. Concerned? What Should Be Done?

My fiancee had a stint put in after her gallbladder surgery. Today we had the stint removed at 1pm, we ate lunch (she had a small steak with a sweet potato), and she felt fine until 630pm where she started to experience a chill. She does not have a temperature but is still experiencing chills. Should I monitor her temperature to see if she has a fever , give her a Motrin, or take her to the hospital. Friends have recommended giving her a tylenol and watch to see if she gets a fever.
