Purpose The aim of this paper is to review the pathophysiology of thermoregulation mechanism, various causes of fever after maxillofacial surgery and the different treatment protocols advised in the literature. Discussion Fever is one of the most common complaints after major surgery and is also considered to be an important clinical sign which indicates developing pathology that may go unnoticed by the clinician during post operative period. Several factors are responsible for fever after the maxillofacial surgery, inflammation and infection being the commonest. However, other rare causes such as drug allergy, dehydration, malignancy and endocrinological disorders, etc. should be ruled out prior to any definite diagnosis and initiate the treatment. Proper history and clinical examination is an essential tool to predict the causative factors for fever. Common cooling methods like tepid sponging are usually effective alone or in conjunction with analgesics to reduce the temperature. Conclusion Fever is a common postoperative complaint and should not be underestimated as it may indicate a more serious underlying pathology. A specific guideline towards the management of such patients is necessary in every hospital setting to ensure optimal care towards the patients during post operative period.

“…Historically, several different antimicrobial agents have been used in the head and neck region to reduce bacterial counts prior to surgery, including iodine, alcohol, and chlorhexidine (CHX) . The most frequently‐used antiseptic solutions in oral and maxillofacial surgery are 0.12%, 0.2%, and 1% CHX solutions and 1% povidone iodine solution . Not surprisingly, these agents have been used in other surgical fields as well …”

“…It is very difficult to attain aseptic conditions in the oral cavity, due to the large bacterial count in the mouth . Perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis has been utilized for several decades; however, there is no general consensus on whether this technique is beneficial for the patient in reducing bacterial numbers . When applying a preoperative antimicrobial agent, two broad techniques are generally employed.…”
